Description

The Caterpillar Wall Mounted Activity Board is an engaging, multi-sensory educational resource designed to encourage children to play, explore, problem-solve and develop essential fine motor skills.

Ideal for schools, nurseries, learning centres, sensory areas and public play spaces, the Caterpillar provides children with opportunities for independent discovery as well as collaborative play.

Caterpillar Wall Mounted Activity Board for Learning Through Play

This Montessori-compatible busy board encourages children to follow their natural curiosity and discover how the different activities work. As they turn, move, open, rotate and manipulate the different components, children are developing dexterity, hand-eye coordination, fine motor control, reasoning and problem-solving skills.

The activities can also encourage conversation and descriptive language as children discuss what they see and what they are doing.

The interactive activities include:

• Adjustable caterpillar eyes to create different expressions
• Wire bead maze with beads that can be moved from side to side
• Turning discs that create different visual effects and patterns as they rotate
• Colour wheel for exploring colours and colour combinations
• Sensory surfaces hidden behind doors with different locking mechanisms
• Interlocking gears that children can arrange and turn in different combinations
