This beautifully crafted "Stack and Thread" toy, based on the Montessori 5-Column Bead Sequencing approach, provides a hands-on, interactive way for children to develop essential skills, including fine motor control, hand-eye coordination, pattern recognition, and sequencing. This versatile toy is an excellent resource for occupational therapists, parents, and educators seeking to enhance a child's dexterity, cognitive abilities, and early math concepts.

How to Play: Children can either freely stack the 25 colorful wooden shapes onto the 5 columns of the wooden stand or follow the 8 double-sided sequencing cards for guided play. The cards provide visual prompts, challenging children to replicate specific patterns and sequences by stacking the correct shapes in the right order.
