Develop toddlers’ wrist flexibility and fine motor precision with Montessori Discs on Horizontal Dowel for Practical Life work.
Product Description
The Discs on Horizontal Dowel is a foundational Montessori Practical Life material designed to refine wrist rotation and build bilateral coordination in toddlers.
