A multiple activity apparatus is disclosed for educational, therapeutic, or recreational use comprising three rectangular frame members joined at abutting ends in a triangular configuration having open triangular ends. The triangular configuration has a base and upwardly converging sides with a utility board mounted in each respective frame member. Each board has an exterior work surface so that a pair of upright work surfaces are selectively positionable for use at any one time. A method of utilizing visual teaching aids comprises the steps of assembling three utility panels each having a side surface useful as a teaching aid; disconnectably joining each of the three panels in juxtaposition forming at least two junctures between panels with the exterior surfaces positioned at an angle for use as teaching aids; and stacking the three boards generally flat forming an assembly for transport.
A child's automobile activity device is provided which rotatably attaches to an extension rod of the type that hooks on the garment hooks in the rear seat area.
