Back in the day Fiskars made orange plastic templates of different shapes. I saw someone mention it in another thread. They don't make them anymore.
I had some I use for my middle school art class but over the years they have gotten really beaten up and broken. The kids love them for quickly making a circle or oval or whatever shape without having to get compasses out. I hate dealing with compasses.
I just bought 3 templates on ebay and with shipping it came to $25! Eek.
If anybody has any in their stash they are willing to get rid of for less than that price, I would love it, and my students would love it.

I’m guessing these were hard plastic templates. I don’t have any of those but I do have a ton of templates I’d be happy to part with.

I haven't looked, artbabe, but pretty sure I have some. Problem is that shipping from Canada would not be any cheaper than purchasing on ebay. Now that you mention them, I think I will dig in that drawer where things go to wait to die. Might be able to use them for Linda's colour blocking challenge this month. |

I'll check our second hand craft store. They have so much old stuff there. You're so lucky to have that store. Not only would I donate, I would likely find stuff I really wanted, once in a while. ETA: I don't have any of those. If I did would send them to you for free. Is there any other stuff you might want for your students? |

I have one ! Fiskars. Orange heavy plastic. Heart, Star, oval, round and rectangle. I never noticed the scallops on the edges. It’s in great shape. PM me your address and you can have it as rak. 🧡

Most of the time I find nothing, but it takes care of the Tuesday Morning rush I enjoyed. |

I still have mine! I would have loved to have been able to offload, ahem, I mean donate them to you artbabe , but like grammadee mentioned, the shipping from Australia would be exorbitant. |
