Here’s a toy projector used for students to draw and practice their fine motor skills

There’s ongoing debate in the art world about whether or not the great Renaissance painters may have used optical aids to help them trace the timeless masterpieces which now hang in galleries all around the world.

That being said, it looks like it could be a cool little device.
