Montessori Discs on Dowels and Threading Activities

Choose an individual wooden activity for placing discs on dowels, threading rings or guiding a disc along a wire. Each option offers a focused movement to repeat, from sliding discs onto a straight dowel to turning rectangles around a pegged dowel. Present one activity at a time and allow your child to explore the movement at their own pace.

Each option is sold separately. The group photo shows the available activities, not a complete set included with every purchase.
