Monteossri Knobbed cylinders Set of 4

Like all Montessori materials, the knobbed cylinders are self-correcting. When a piece does not fit, or is left over, the child will know he or she is not yet finished. Children are able to determine that a problem exists and take steps to address the problem without any intervention from a teacher. This produces a deep sense of accomplishment!
The hand is being trained for manipulation skills in a methodical way. Not only do young toddlers and preschoolers learn about size and dimension through the knobbed cylinders, but they gain vocabulary related to these topics, practice left to right progression and learn beginning problem solving skills. This knowledge enables them to observe and interact with their environment with greater awareness and insight.
What's included: 4 sets of knobbed cylinders - 5 cylinders/compartments each, Set 1: Decreasing diameters and depths, Set 2: Increasing diameters and decreasing depths, Set 3: Same diameter, decreasing depths, Set 4: Same depth, decreasing diameters
QUALITY: Each piece is made with high quality basswood with rounded corners and coated with non-toxic water based paint.
This sensorial and mathematics learning toy is a great addition to your home, homeschool, classroom, playroom, nursery decor, or your Montessori shelf!
