Beechwood Rod With 9 Holes

This rod is designed for standard Montessori pegs with a diameter of 6-8mm. The holes are precisely sized to provide a snug fit while still allowing children to easily insert and remove pegs for repeated practice.

Children can use the 9 holes to practice counting 1-9, explore odd/even concepts, create patterns, learn addition/subtraction by adding or removing pegs, and understand quantity relationships through hands-on manipulation.

Yes, the rod is crafted from solid beechwood with smooth, splinter-free surfaces and rounded edges. However, adult supervision is recommended when used with pegs to prevent choking hazards for children who still put objects in their mouths.

Without pegs, children can practice finger placement in holes for pincer grip development, trace the holes for counting practice, use it as a ruler for measuring, or incorporate it into sensory bins for texture exploration.

Wipe with a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid soaking in water or using harsh chemicals. Occasionally treat with food-safe mineral oil to maintain the wood's natural luster and prevent drying or cracking.
