Montessori Activity Sensory Board – 6 Styles

Buckles, zips, laces, snaps and buttons: the everyday fasteners children meet on their own clothes, shoes and bags, gathered into one soft carry case they can practise on at their own pace. No batteries, no screen and no noise. Just small hands working things out.

What it feels like
Soft felt pages, smooth webbing straps, the click of a plastic buckle, the zip of a zipper and the tug of a lace. Each fastener gives a different texture and a different amount of resistance, so hands get a real variety of touch and grip in one place.

Who is it for?
Children learning to dress themselves, children who like repetitive hands-on tasks, and anyone who needs a quiet, portable activity for the car, a waiting room or a table-top break. Practising fasteners away from the body is often easier than on your own clothes, where you can't see what your fingers are doing. That makes these a useful stepping stone before trying on the real thing. Browse more fidget and fine motor tools.
