Herb Greenboards in a child's hands
The herb greenboards are a set of four small boards with chalk, made to be used as plant markers. The boards measure 7 × 5 cm. The child writes the name of an herb on a board in chalk and marks the plant with it. Four boards are enough to mark four plants. Nienhuis lists wood and chalk as the materials, and the boards are meant for use indoors and outdoors. In our catalogue the set belongs to the writing preparation materials. It is meant for children aged 3 to 6.
