DESCRIPTION:The cylinder blocks are a set of four blocks made out of beachwood. Each of these blocks is a rectangular prism with concave faces to facilitate firm holding. Look at them visually and you will notice the discrimination of sizes is evident. The child gets the first stage of being able to visually discriminate the dimensions, and as the child’s competency grows, he/she will begin to differentiate it with their touch. The surfaces are highly polished. Each block has 10 sockets, and there are 40 knobbed cylinders that fit into these sockets. The knobs are the pencil grip type.

OBJECTIVE:Wondering about the purpose of these blocks? They help the child get used to the pincer grip. The pincer grip, as you are aware, becomes a foundation for writing at a later stage—holding pencils.Cylinder blocks also play a pivotal role in understanding mathematics and language as child explores them further – height and diameter become part of the explorations.
