Good manners chart: magic words, manners at school, table manners

A good manners chart that teaches small children the words and acts of courtesy, pinned near the classroom door. The nine pictures show five magic words in speech bubbles around two smiling children, Please, Thank You, Sorry, Excuse Me and Namaste; four manners at school; and four table manners, from washing hands first to saying thank you. Type a different subject or a twist, such as greetings, and the same three styles carry it.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
