The Mini Cylinder Blocks are designed as a first introduction to sorting and ordering by size and dimension for toddlers. Between the ages of 2.5 and 3.5 years, children enter a sensitive period where they begin to explore and classify items by height, width, and dimension. This set includes 4 blocks, each containing 4 cylinders that differ in size, offering a focused activity that enhances visual discrimination and fine motor skills.

🔷 Block 1:Cylinders decrease in both height and diameter, teaching children to recognize changes in overall size.  

🔶 Block 2: As the height increases, the diameter decreases, introducing children to comparisons of height and width.  

🔷 Block 3: The diameter decreases while the height remains constant, helping children understand the relationship between width and height.  

🔶 Block 4: The height decreases as the diameter increases, further reinforcing concepts of size and proportion.

🔷 Crafted from solid beech wood, each block is durable and provides a control of error, allowing children to self-correct as they fit cylinders into the corresponding holes.  

🔶 The cylinders are designed to focus a child's attention on key differences in size, enhancing their ability to visually discriminate between dimensions. 

This high-quality Montessori material is suitable for toddler environments and offers an intense, pleasurable working experience that encourages concentration and critical thinking. Each block measures 26.5 cm x 7 cm, making it the perfect size for small hands.

The Mini Cylinder Blocks offer children a foundational learning experience, preparing them for more advanced concepts in mathematics and spatial reasoning while promoting independent exploration.
