Wooden Cylinder Blocks

Wooden cylinder blocks are a classic Montessori material designed to help children develop fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and an understanding of size and spatial relationships.

You will need a set of wooden cylinder blocks, which typically include cylinders of varying sizes that fit into corresponding holes in a block. Explain the task to the participant. Show them how to match the cylinders with the corresponding holes in the block. Start with a simple demonstration of how to place the cylinders into the holes. Explain how to match the sizes and how to handle the cylinders carefully.

• Cognitive Stimulation: Handling and placing the cylinders require concentration and problem-solving, which can help stimulate cognitive functions.
• Fine Motor Skills: Manipulating the cylinders helps improve dexterity and hand-eye coordination.
• Sensory Engagement: The tactile experience of handling the wooden cylinders can be soothing and engaging.
