Description

By constant repetition The Child develops and strengthens his muscles and the memory of the movement and indirectly the particular practical skill that is being developed and honed, which will remain with him throughout his lifetime.
This is the benefit of the Practical Life exercises developed by Dr Montessori. The Bolts & Nuts is designed to teach a child how to screw a nut onto a bolt. The nut is shaped like a door-knob. The material has 5 different size bolts but similar size knobs. These are beautifully designed to fit a toddlers hand comfortably in red.
The base is made with a sold beechwood block.

The knobs of the nuts and bolt set are very chunky which helps develop their grip.
