Pincer Puzzle

The 'Cylinder Block' is an iconic material in any Montessori Preschool classroom, and now the beautiful Pincer Puzzle by Totli allows babies and toddlers to access the benefits of this amazing resource.

Using the Pincer Puzzle helps a young child to develop their fine motor control and their hand-eye coordination as they remove and replace the cylinder into its block.

The presence of the small knob on the top of the cylinder encourages the use of a 'pincer' grip with the fingers, which helps to aid the development of the hand and is one of the very first steps on a child's journey towards writing.

The grasping knob is green as a point of interest and to guide the child's attention towards it. 

This is the ideal material to guide a toddler's interest towards puzzles. The use of 3D objects - the wooden cube block and cylinder - makes the task more engaging and tactile for a young child than a typical 'flat' puzzle. It helps them learn the cognitive concept and the muscle movements associated with removing a piece and replacing it to its home, which they can then transfer to more complex 2-dimensional puzzles.

The Pincer Puzzle is a fantastic way to introduce your child to the magic of Montessori and encourage their cognitive and physical development.

It also makes an ideal and unique gift for a baby shower or first birthday!

It measures just 6cm x 6cm with a height of 5cm, making it perfectly petite for tiny hands.

Recommended from ages 6 months and up.
