Our large wooden Ball Tracker has been used in Montessori Toddler Classrooms around the world for many years. The ball moves slowly so children can follow, or "track" it with their eyes. Tracking movements of the eyes are very important for later reading and writing.
Children also learn to distinguish between objects that can roll and objects that can not.

Placing the colorful wooden cogwheels (gears) on the board is only half the fun.
The combinations are endless but will your pattern work when the big blue wheel is cranked?
Watch to see if all the wheels are turning and which way they are moving.
Follow the illustrations included that have been carefully designed so that the running cogwheels create a "complete artwork" or make up your own patterns.
Our Giant Wooden Panel with 6 different latches will attract toddlers' attention and provide them an opportunity to use the pincer grip and wrist movement when opening the compartments.
Children can place a few objects to temporarily "hide" until the latch has been unlocked.
Our wooden panel is suitable for wall mounting especially when floor space is limited. There are three different imbucare box activities for fitting four different objects (red cylinder, blue cube, yellow triangular prism, and green rectangular prism) into holes. The objects are inserted horizontally into the first row, and vertically into the second and third rows. There is a mirror in the second row and the third row resembles four imbucare boxes with doors.

"It is important to realize that children must first gain an awareness of the movements before they can begin to reproduce them. When the formula is clear, the child will continue his efforts to perfect the movement and, if the environment permits it, will continue until the idea the child has in his mind, is a very great joy for the child." -Silvana Montanaro
