Description

Ages 3+ / Grades PreK+
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD – Small parts. Not for children under 3 years.
The Cylinder Blocks introduce children to the first stage of visual discrimination of size. This set of 40 Cylinders progress in height and diameter from small to large, short to tall, thin to thick, and thin/short to tall/thick. Each cylinder decreases by 1/4" inch (1/2 cm) in all three dimensions, and as a result progresses in diameter from thin to thick and tall to short.

  • WHAT'S INCLUDED: 4 sets each with 10 Cylinders and wooden stand measuring 18.11"L x 3.54" W x 3.03" H made of solid beechwood with a satin smooth lacquer finish, each block has slightly rounded edges and each cylinder is individually sanded and lacquered.
  • EARLY SPATIAL AWARENESS: This manipulative set educates the child's eye to perceive differences in dimension from small to big, short to tall, thin to wide.
  • MOTOR SKILLS: Hand-sized pieces promote small muscle control and hand eye coordination. This indirectly prepares the child for writing since the fingers and thumb for holding a pencil are used to hold and manipulate the knobs.
  • BOX 1: 10 Cylinders progress in height and diameter from small to large.
  • BOX 2: 10 Cylinders progress in diameter from thin to thick.
  • BOX 3: 10 Cylinders diminish in height yet increase in diameter from tall to thin and short to thick.
  • BOX 4: 10 Cylinders progress in height from short to tall with the diameter remaining constant.
  • WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD - SMALL PARTS.
