Wooden Cylinder Block
A Montessori wooden cylinder block with twelve graded cylinders in two diameters. Self-correcting size sorting, handmade in Latvia from Baltic birch.
Twelve little cylinders, two diameters, and a wooden base with a home for each one. Your child lifts them out, mixes them up, then works out which cylinder belongs in which hole. This Montessori wooden cylinder block is self-correcting: if a cylinder won't sit flush or is out of order, the child sees it straight away and puts it right without a grown-up saying a word.
It's a quiet, absorbing puzzle that lays early groundwork for big and small, ordering and comparing, all through the fingertips.
