Drawing Insets With Stand – 10 Shapes

The Montessori Drawing Insets or Drawing Metal Insets are a key component of the Montessori language curriculum, designed to refine early writing and drawing skills.

This set includes ten metal insets in blue, each placed on matching pink wooden frames, displayed on two slightly inclined stands. One stand holds the rectilinear figures—square, rectangle, trapezium, equilateral triangle, and pentagon—while the other holds the curvilinear figures—circle, ellipse, oval, rosette, and curvilinear triangle.

By repeatedly tracing and designing with these insets, children strengthen their pincer grip, wrist coordination, and fine motor control—all essential for handwriting readiness. Beyond pre-writing skills, the Montessori drawing insets allow children to explore unlimited geometric designs, enhancing their creativity, concentration, and precision. The activity also trains lightness of touch, evenness of pressure, and spatial awareness, laying a strong foundation for both art and language development.
