Montessori Cylinder Blocks 4 Sets

The Cylinder Blocks are one of the first materials a child might be introduced to in the Sensorial Area.

A set includes 4 wooden blocks and 40 cylinders to teach the child dimension and understand dimensional variations in objects. Each of the blocks is a rectangular prism with concave faces to facilitate holding firmly. The surfaces are polished to a fine glossy finish. Each block has 10 sockets and there are 40 knobbed cylinders that fit into these sockets.

• Block 1:Ten cylinders varying in height and diameter from tall and wide to short and narrow.
• Block 2:Ten cylinders varying in height and diameter from short and wide to tall and narrow.
• Block 3:Ten cylinders varying in diameter only
• Block 4:Ten cylinders varying in height only. Preparation This is an individual exercise, which may be done either on the table with a table mat or on the floor on a floor mat. (Note: work cycle to be observed)
• For any Montessori classroom and homeschooling, this is a good tool for general sensory teaching.
