Please note:
Montessori materials are NOT toys, but educational materials. Proper use requires appropriate training.
Montessori materials may contain small, rough, sharp, or other elements that could cause injury or damage if used improperly.
It may therefore only be used by children under the supervision of appropriately trained persons and in an appropriate environment.
The mold box trains the child's sensory perception and eye-hand coordination. The box is used as soon as the child no longer grabs everything by mouth. (from approx. one year) The task is to place a suitable object (thin cylinder) through the opening in the lid. The child learns that objects can be inserted into other objects and can be taken out of them again. The front of the box has a side flap with a circular opening. The child can either reach in through the opening and take the object out again or open the flap. In combination with other shaped boxes, the child learns that only one specific object fits into a specific box. To make the whole thing more exciting, you can also offer other items to fit in. (eg building blocks, play cars, small figures, ...) Another didactic goal in addition to the optical and sensorimotor experience is the exercise by hand. The child increasingly learns to grip things not only with the full palm, but with the fingers. This in turn is a preparation for the tweezers handle and a preliminary exercise for holding the pen. In addition, eye-hand coordination is promoted. The child sees the object and the opening with the eyes and must coordinate the hand accordingly in order to get the object into this opening.
