Price is what the vendor listed when last checked. Confirm it with the vendor before buying.

Setup with instructions The graphics need no power, pairing, or programming, so they are simple to handle. But students get the most from them when an adult helps match them to lessons and explains how to read each drawing by touch. That makes guided setup a good fit.
