GAM 0-3 Cylinder Block 2

In Block 2 the cylinders vary in diameter, moving from thin to thick, while their height stays the same. Keeping height constant lets a child focus on width alone and judge thickness by sight and touch.

The Cylinder Blocks give a child their first structured look at visual discrimination of size. Lifting each cylinder by its knob and matching it to the right socket builds careful observation and ordered movement.

Yes. The block has one socket for each cylinder, so a wrong placement leaves a cylinder that does not fit or one left over at the end. This built-in control of error lets the child notice and correct the mistake alone.

The child lifts each cylinder using the thumb and first two fingers. That three-finger pincer hold is the same grip used for a pencil, so the exercise quietly prepares the hand for writing.

It does. Each of the four blocks isolates a different change. Block 2 varies diameter, while /products/gam-0-3-cylinder-block-4 varies height. Using them together gives a child a rounded understanding of dimension.

Store each cylinder in its own socket and count them before putting the block away so none go missing. Wipe the beechwood with a soft dry cloth and keep it clear of water and direct sun.
