The primary goal of the cylinder blocks is to help children notice visual nuances. At a later stage, they will be able to apply language to these visual differences and prepare for math activities.
The Cylinder Blocks are recommended for children aged 3 to 6 years old as they will be introduced to the concept of diameter and height. Their motor skills, language, and math skills are also refined.
"As all the cylinders in the set have the same height, the little knob is always easy to hold even if the cylinders were to be misplaced. This will enable the child to correct himself." Maria Montessori, The 1946 London Lectures
