a template is a device that allows a shape to be drawn accurately and repeatedly onto a sheet of materials e.g. paper, card, fabric. It can be a thin sheet of plastic in the shape of the shape to be transferred, in which case a pencil is held against the outside edge and follows the edge around the shape thus drawing the shape on the sheet of material beneath. Or it can be a thin sheet of plastic in which there is a hole in the shape of the shape to be transferred. In this case the pencil is held against the inside edge and follows the edge around the shape thus drawing the shape on the sheet of material beneath. Children find it easier to use the ‘holeâ€(tm) template.
