Cylinder Drop Box

The Smart Kid wooden cylinder drop box is a Montessori-inspired activity designed for children in their first stage of discovery, to develop fine motor skills and visual perception.

The box contains three wooden cylinders in different sizes. Your child learns to tell big, medium and small apart and to choose the right hole for each cylinder.

Once dropped into the box, the cylinder slides into the front drawer so your child can retrieve it easily and keep playing — encouraging repetition, exploration and self-directed learning.
