Using a scoop is a fine motor skill that is easily incorporated into many types of daily play. It’s great for using both hands together; and building up the strength and stability of hands, fingers, shoulders, elbows and wrists.

Jennifer Fischer I'm looking for an ice cube tray of geometric solids. Can't find one. Maybe it doesn't exist. Have you seen anything like that?

Marnie - Carrots Are Orange Oh, no...but that sounds awesome. She made her solids from clay and painted them. Sounds easy enough...right? (Gulp)

Ashley Berna I have seen plastic versions of geometric solids at teacher stores that are way less expensive then if you buy them from any Montessori site. No, they are not wooden, but they work just the same.
