Place the Pin
Part of the Educo 0–3 Grow & Develop Range, Place the Pin invites children to practise early problem-solving and motor control by inserting pegs into the stand. Because the pins fit only one way, children learn to distinguish between shape and size while building precision and control.
This simple yet purposeful activity also helps strengthen the muscles in the fingers, hands, wrists, and arms, laying a strong foundation for future tasks such as drawing, writing, and self-care.
Includes a wooden stand with 6 pins in 3 colours. Stand measures 30 x 15 x 4cm. Pins measures 7 x 1.5cm. Suitable for ages 11 – 13 months
