Montessori Fine Motor Set: Cylinder Push and Ball Push | Nienhuis

Perfect combination for problem-solving, fine motor skills, and object permanence. This Montessori set, consisting of two carefully selected products, Cylinder Box with Slider and Ball Push from Nienhuis Montessori, is designed to promote your child's cognitive and motor development from a very early age.

Both materials are AMI certified (Association Montessori Internationale), thus ensuring the highest pedagogical standards and quality.

Cylinder Box with Slider:

• AMI Certified: Original Montessori material certified by the Association Montessori Internationale (AMI).
• Promotes Problem-Solving Skills: Children learn to solve problems by being challenged to place the cylinders correctly.
• Hand-Eye Coordination: Inserting and moving the cylinders trains hand-eye coordination.
• Size Discrimination: Children learn to distinguish and visually perceive different sizes.
• Motivating Activity: The easy-to-pull slider and the disappearance of the cylinders from view encourage children to repeat the activity and continue practicing.

Ball Push:

• AMI Certified: Original Montessori material certified by the Association Montessori Internationale (AMI).
• Fine Motor Skills: Pushing the balls through the holes promotes precise hand movements. This not only trains hand and finger coordination but also strengthens the wrist.
• Object Permanence: Children learn that objects continue to exist even when they are out of sight.
• Dimensions: 23 cm x 16 cm x 10.5 cm

Learning Objectives and Benefits

• Problem-Solving Skills: Both products encourage children to explore different solutions through trial and error.
• Fine Motor Skills and Hand-Eye Coordination: Precisely inserting and pushing the cylinders, as well as pushing the balls, trains dexterity and hand-eye coordination.
• Visual Perception and Object Permanence: Children learn to recognize different shapes and sizes and understand the concept of object permanence (that objects continue to exist even when not visible).
• Motivation and Repetition: The disappearance of the cylinders from view and the pushing of the balls motivate children to repeat the activity, thus promoting continuous learning.
