Material Description:
The Discs on Horizontal Dial is a thoughtfully designed Montessori material that aids toddlers in the
development of fine motor skills, finger grip, and hand-eye coordination. This toy features a
horizontal dial with three green-coloured discs that fit securely onto it. It is a step up from traditional
stacking toys by offering a slightly different grasping technique, promoting further progression in the
child's motor development.
This toy allows the child to place and remove the discs from the horizontal dial using their finger
grip, which strengthens hand muscles and encourages controlled movement. The simple design,
with uniform colours and easy-to-handle discs, ensures the child is not overwhelmed, promoting
focus without distractions.
Discs on Horizontal Dial
- Fine Motor Skills Development: The child uses their fingers to grip and move the discs,
helping to refine their dexterity and control over hand movements. - Finger Grip and Hand Strength: The horizontal placement of the discs encourages the child
to develop a different grip than stacking toys, which supports further development in finger
strength and flexibility. - Hand-Eye Coordination: By placing the discs on the dial and manipulating them, children
improve their hand-eye coordination as they focus on precision and timing. - Encourages Progression: The use of a different grasp compared to stacking toys provides an
opportunity for children to build on previous skills, creating a seamless progression in their
learning and physical development. - Simple Design for Focused Learning: The consistent green color of the discs helps the child
focus on the task without unnecessary distractions, while the dimensions are perfectly
suited to the child's hand size, ensuring comfort and ease of use. - Sturdy and Safe: The toy includes a sturdy wooden base that provides stability, ensuring
that the child can engage with the toy safely and without strain.
