Product Description
Montessori Bolts on Base
The Montessori Bolts on Base activity is a hands-on practical life material designed to support the developing fine motor skills of toddlers. By isolating the movement of twisting and untwisting nuts on fixed bolts, the child is able to focus on precise hand movements, control, and repetition.
Educational Purpose
This activity strengthens hand muscles, wrist rotation, and bilateral coordination. The repeated action of turning nuts helps toddlers refine controlled movements while developing patience, focus, and problem-solving skills through purposeful work.
Toddler Classroom Use
Ideal for infant and toddler Montessori classrooms, this material is simple, stable, and intentionally designed for independent use. It can be presented on a low shelf or work mat as part of the Practical Life curriculum.
