6 Piece Wooden Baby Toy Collection
££
We had a similar set to this, it includes a good selection of 6 toys to support your baby’s development from 6-12 months.
The palmar block, the ball and cup, the pincer block, the single circle puzzle, the three first shape puzzles, the three peg block, and the four stacking blocks.
size: ranging from 5cm to 7cm
Interlocking Disks: These can be introduced from around 6 months and will help to encourage hand-to-hand transfer of objects. This helps with the integration of the right and left sides of the brain.
The Ball and Cup: The Montessori ball and cup is a classic Montessori material aimed at promoting hand-eye coordination in the infant. Babies who are working on this skill will concentrate on removing the ball and replacing in its place repeatedly. This material is meant to be offered from about 8-9 months onward. It is great practice for babies in using both hands at once: baby will hold onto the cup in one hand and the ball in the other.
The Pincer Block: The pincer grasp develops after the palmar grasp. This material should be offered at around 9 months when you begin to notice the child working hard to grasp objects with the thumb and forefinger. Children love to practice this grasp, and this material is perfect for helping them perfect it.
The single square puzzle: The single square is puzzle can be introduced once your child has mastered the pincer (thumb and forefinger) grasp. It does require practice as they will also need to rotate the piece to fit into the base.
