Product Description
Montessori Nuts on Base
The Montessori Nuts on Base activity is a classic practical life material that supports the development of fine motor control through purposeful, repetitive movement. Toddlers practice twisting and untwisting metal nuts from fixed bolts, refining hand strength and coordination in a calm, focused way.
Educational Purpose
This activity strengthens finger muscles, wrist rotation, and bilateral coordination. The simple design allows the child to isolate the twisting motion, supporting concentration, independence, and confidence as they master controlled hand movements.
