Points of Interest

Control of Error

The control of error lies within the materials itself.

  • Seeing those that are too wide not fit
  • Those that are too thin will not fit snugly
  • Those that are too short or too tall will not be level
  • At the least, the child will be left with one that does not fit in the end.
