Single Shape Puzzle Set

Introduce your baby to early shape recognition and hand control with this Montessori puzzle set featuring extra-large knobs for little hands.
The Single Shape Puzzle Set is thoughtfully designed for children aged 9 to 24 months. Each puzzle board features one geometric shape with a large wooden knob, making it easy for developing fingers to grasp and manipulate.

This set includes four one-piece wooden puzzles:

This  simple wooden puzzle with a circle inset is the perfect first puzzle.

The circle is usually introduced first as it is the easiest for baby to place.

Once that shape has been mastered, the square is next, and the triangle last.

It is important to use shape puzzles with knobs. This is to help begin building the finger muscles to develop the pincer grasp. Our puzzle has a lovely chunky wooden knob.

Start as early as 9 months.
Measures:  4.75 x 4.75 inches.

Cubes on Vertical Dowel

Support your toddler’s developing coordination and concentration with this foundational Montessori material.
Cubes on Vertical Dowel is designed for children aged 12 to 18 months and provides the opportunity to explore vertical motion, precise hand placement, and control of movement using simple wooden cubes and a central peg.

This material includes:

Three Discs on a Vertical Dowel

This Montessori-inspired material introduces toddlers to stacking, order, and eye-hand coordination.

Designed for children as young as 12 months, this activity invites the child to stack 3 wooden discs onto a central dowel. The material encourages repetition, concentration, and mastery of finger grasp and release.

Four Balls on Small Pegs

This early Montessori material is perfect for infants starting around 10–12 months.

It features a wooden board with four vertical pegs and four smooth wooden balls of the same size. As the child places each ball on a peg, the peg becomes visually hidden, helping the child experience how the center hole disappears and the shape appears whole. This activity encourages a deeper understanding of object permanence and spatial relationships.

This wooden Montessori box features five holes of different diameters on the top surface. Beneath the holes, there is a flat sliding plate that temporarily holds the cylinders in place. Inside the box is a slanted ramp.

The child places the five wooden cylinders (same height, different diameters) into the corresponding holes — but they don’t fall through immediately. The sliding plate underneath prevents them from dropping.
