Dr. Montessori analyzed the movements that are connected with writing and developed The Metal Insets for directly preparing the child for handwriting. Use of this material strengthens the three-finger grip and coordinates the necessary wrist movements. The exercises also advance proficiency in lightness of touch and evenness of pressure through drawing activities.The Metal Insets invite unlimited geometric design possibilities. Material consists of: 10 metal insets and frames.

2 sloping stands: 1 for straight-sided figures and 1 for curve-sided figures.

A beech plywood wall frame for holding The Metal Insets and other materials used in the exercise. 77 x 75 x 23 cm.

Lead pencils with medium lead hardness. Sold in boxes of 12.

This exercise demonstrates the function of the adjective as the describing word. The set contains the 7 different types of triangles, each in 3 colors and each in 3 sizes (63 triangles total) in a beechwood box with lid.
