Knobbed Cylinders, a Montessori sensorial material that helps a child to cultivate a sense of order, self correction and refine the pincer grasp. 

This child is placing a matching cylinder into the hole of the block, then he would pick up another matching cylinder from another desk based on his visual perception to fit it on the block.

This simple “What the eyes see and the hands feel” exercise often draws children’s intense concentration when they repeat the exercise over and over again. By the time they master the ability to achieve better “right first time”, you’ll notice their improvements on sense of order, hands-eyes coordination, sense of order and longer attention span.

这项感官教具中的记忆活动，扮演着重要的角色，这有助于让孩子通过对教具的探索，让敏锐的感官抓住敏感期，事半功倍的掌握让自己的感官精锐化的能力。

这小孩将一支小棒子放在带插座圆柱体的其中一个空格内，再到另一个距离较远的桌子，透过眼力判断，正确的拿到一个刚好可以放到空格的圆柱体。

这个学习过程，让孩子通过不断的努力，精致化自己的感官吸收能力，进而让自己的感官更为敏锐。
