Montessori cutting food - Fruits and vegetables

These cutting foods presented on their wooden base will make your child happy! He will finally be able to do as adults and gain independence by using his own knife to cut food. This allows you to work on the directional grip of the knife and the holding of cutlery in everyday life.

It's an imitation toy: By cutting these wooden elements, your little one will have fun reproducing everyday gestures while practicing handling a knife. It helps develop fine motor skills, abilities, bimanual coordination, precision and eye-hand coordination.

The flat shape of the food promotes the stability of objects and allows children to use them from 2 1/2 years of age with the knife.

Before 2 years old, without the knife, the child can work the association in pairs and use his hands to undo and redo the assemblies (working with the strength of small hands).

This toy will be ideal for learning the names of foods, for encouraging sharing and developing imagination and creativity.

Tip: Children can reuse their wooden knife, sometimes accompanied by a fork, to practice holding their cutlery and cutting his food, with plasticine for example.
