Product Overview
The Minimalist Montessori Busy Board – Timber Montessori Toys offers a child an opportunity to have fun while building new skills, and meeting his or her sensory needs at the same time. This board is made of smooth and polished wood; the board consists of so many features that one can manipulate, and touch to enhance the learning sense. The wooden parts under the fingers feel very pleasing and natural, while the pieces themselves are bright and eye-catching, inviting children to the world of discovery.
Stemming from the previous idea, the board appears to have been well crafted with several operations that feedback to the operator’s senses in different ways. I suppose the best example would be the gears. Children can enjoy twisting and turning the items with their small hands. As they do this, they hear a soft clicking sound and a rhythmic tick-tock. These sounds help them understand cause and effect. The sound that the gears produce, along with the feedback that one’s fingers provide when moving the gears back and forth, is instrumental in early motor skills and hand/eye coordination.
The wooden letters that spell out the child’s name are a special feature of the board. These personalized letters help with letter recognition and name learning. They are pieces are thick and strong, so perfect for little ones who cannot yet hold small objects easily. Each letter when the child takes them to grasp they can see that they are having smooth curves around edges than sides to form the flat board. Another fun moment one gets when they fit the letter on its proper place, then it clicks back to its place and this exercises the shape recognition and thinking. The child’s name written on the board gives the toy a personal touch and makes it felt and looked like a valued possession.
Other features such as the rocket and plane creates a playful imagination. They are smooth and curved so that they can smoothly slide on the board and the child can create a story. A train that has a plain but cute appearance moves along the track to give the child a sense of space as well as developing hand eye coordination. The gears in particular are designed for frequent manipulation as the children love the feeling of the gear movement and the sound the gears make when engaged.
The Minimalist Montessori Busy Board is an excellent toy that children of all ages can play with. This is an entertaining plaything that can be very helpful in the development of numerous abilities in children. It is also a toy that can be educational in the process of learning about the environment in which the child lives and the development of personality traits and emotions.
