GAM Cylinder Block No. 4

The Cylinder Blocks introduce the child to the first stage of visual discrimination of size. Cylinders diminish in height yet increase in diameter from tall to thin and short to thick. Made of solid beechwood with a satin smooth lacquer finish. Each cylinder is individually sanded and lacquered.

The puspose of the sensorial materials is to isolate the impressions trasmitted through the senses and to permit the child to classify these impressions into correct entities/categories. Specifically, CYLINDER BLOCK aims to educate the eye to perceive differences in dimensions.
