GAM Cylinder Block No. 1

Cylinders progress in height and diameter from small to large. The Cylinder Blocks introduce the child to the first stage of visual discrimination of size. Made of solid beech wood with a satin smooth lacquer finish. Each block has slightly rounded edges and each cylinder is individually sanded and lacquered.

Educates the eye to perceive differences in dimension. Promotes small muscle control and hand eye coordination. Indirectly prepares the child for writing since the fingers and thumb for holding a pencil are used to hold the knobs.

Each cylinder decreses by 1/2 cm in all three dimensions, and as a result progresses in diameter from thin to thick and tall to short.
