Product Description:
The Cylinder Blocks, also known as Knobbed Cylinders, are a set of four meticulously crafted blocks made from high-quality teakwood. Each block is designed as a rectangular prism with concave faces, allowing for a secure and comfortable grip, helping young children develop their fine motor skills.
These blocks play a vital role in early childhood development and provide engaging sensory experiences. The precision-made cylinders fit into matching sockets, each with a sturdy knob,
designed to help the child practice the pincer grip—a foundational skill for later activities such as holding a pencil and writing.

o Fine Motor Skills: The pincer grip encouraged by the knobbed cylinders lays the foundation for writing skills.
o Sensory Exploration: Children learn to discriminate between sizes through both visual and tactile experiences. They begin to perceive differences in height and diameter, fostering early mathematical understanding.
o Cognitive Growth: Through exploration, children naturally engage in mathematical
concepts such as height, diameter, and size discrimination, while also developing
spatial awareness.
