Description

This activity improves the Child’s ability to discriminate between size, height and volume.

The Knobless Cylinders, consist of 4 sets of 10 colorful cylinders:

  • Red – Cylinders vary in height and diameter
  • Blue – Cylinders vary in height and diameter
  • Green – Cylinders vary in diameter
  • Yellow – Cylinders vary in height

Purpose

  • learn how to grade by size
  • train the eye to perceive fine differences in dimensions
  • to recognize differences and similarities, (when using more than one set)
  • improve hand-eye co-ordination of movement
  • improves vocabulary
The direct function provides the Child with an opportunity to hone their discrimination of size, height and volume.  Together with the knobless cylinder cards, the Child uses his own visual ability to discriminate as a control of error.
Each set has 10 cylinders, of a different primary colour.  The lid of the beechwood box is the same colour as the knobless cylinders.

One of the attractions to the Montessori Method is the extensive use of wood.

We use several types of wood, sourced from renewable sources, in the production of our Montessori Materials.

  • Solid beechwood for cylinder blocks, pink towers, dressing frames and brown stairs.
  • Birchply for trays, holders and animal and botany puzzles.
  • MDF for puzzle maps
  • Pineply for boxes and containers

 

We ensure that the coatings and inks used are not only eco-friendly, but also non-toxic.

Our wooden products are manufactured by responsible partner factories both locally and abroad and ensure that fair labour practices are adopted.

Care instructions for Childrens House Wooden Materials:

  • If wooden products are exposed to liquids, wipe dry as quickly as possible.
  • Most of the surfaces can be wiped with a damp cloth if exposed to dirt or grime.
  • Avoid leaving any of our wooden product in direct sunlight, as it may warp certain woods and/ or the coating may fade over time.
