Metal Insets materials. This material is used to help children develop the fine motor skills required for holding a pencil in preparation for writing.
Working with the Metal Insets teaches children to develop their pencil grip, refine their fine motor skills, and learn how to draw within an outline, which is the material’s control of error.
The Metal Insets indirectly allow children to practice concentration and order as they work with, and master, the material.
In addition, the Metal Insets encourage children to challenge their imagination as they create artistic designs. Interacting with these shapes and colours also lay the foundation for future work in Geometry as well.

Cylinder Blocks

The children will take each cylinder out by the k**b, examining the difference in height or diameter. The k**bs prepare a child’s hand for holding a pencil.

Here’s how the blocks differ.
Block 1: The diameter increases from 1cm to 5.5cm
The height remains constant at 5.5cm

Block 2: The diameter increases from 1c, to 5.5cm
The height increases from 1cm to 5.5cm

Block 3: The diameter increases from 1cm to 5.5cm
The height decreases from 1cm to 5.5cm

Block 4: The diameter remains the same.
The height increases from 1cm to 5.5cm

The cylinder blocks inherently include a control of error. The children will be able to visually identify if a cylinder doesn’t correctly fit a chosen place, or will be left with more than one cylinder that doesn’t fit at the end of the work.
