Copying a portrait or a building freehand is hard; this optical tracing board lets you see the picture on the paper itself. Stand your phone or tablet in the black slotted base, look down through the angled clear lens and the image appears to sit on the sheet below, ready to trace with a pencil. It is part of our Toys & Games collection.
It works by reflection, not projection, so it needs no battery or app and the lines stay clear in a normal room. Children use it to learn proportions; adults use it to sketch from photos.

Frequently asked questions
Does the optical tracing board need power or an app?
No, the optical tracing board has no battery and no app; you open a picture on your own phone or tablet, and the angled lens shows it over your paper.
How does the optical tracing board work?
The optical tracing board is a clear coated lens on a stand: the phone sits on one side, you look through the lens and see the picture on the paper, then trace it with a pencil. It is not a projector.
Will my phone or tablet fit the optical tracing board?
Yes, the slotted stand of the optical tracing board holds a phone or a tablet upright opposite the lens.
