About the product
- The Montessori Knobbed Cylinders are the very first sensorial material a child works with. Their purpose is to support visual discrimination skills. Additionally, the Knobbed Cylinders include work with language development, tactile sense, and even pre-writing skills.
- The Montessori Knobbed Cylinders consist of four separate blocks, within each of which a specific set of cylinders fit. Each cylinder has a handle on its top (a knob) with which the child can grasp and transport it.
- Working with one block at a time to begin, young learners work to place the cylinders into their correct spots. They vary in height, width, or both.
- In Montessori we begin without language, to isolate the variable of visual discrimination. Teachers will model silently running their fingers along the circumference of each block
