Kids Love to Learn by Touch! The Montessori method recognizes that children learn best when given tactile learning materials. This board allows children to practice early maths and writing skills while improving hand-eye coordination and fine-motor skills. It is also perfect as a maths manipulative for kids with autism or those who lack fine motor skills. Build Foundations for Counting & Maths It can be difficult for toddlers to grasp the abstract concept of letters and numbers. With the Montessori method, they are first introduced to the concrete activities of counting and physically tracing numbers and letters. With this board they can learn both basic foundational math skills and writing skills at the same time. Built for Independent Learning We know how difficult it can be to get a moment of peace and calm at home! If your toddler isn\'t clambering precariously on every piece of furniture in sight, your preschooler is pulling your sleeve asking to watch TV. With this counting peg & tracing board you have a dozen ways to keep them off the screens and furniture, busy with self-directed learning! Delight in Learning! Here at Hulats our mission is to inspire creativity and a joy for learning. When it comes to toys, we believe that simple is best.
