Metal Inset Shapes

The Montessori metal insets assist children in developing control over writing instruments and prepare their hands for the act of writing. This process should be intentional and focused.

Metal insets should only be introduced once a child is capable of holding a writing instrument. This exercise is not designed to teach children how to grip a writing tool; rather, it aims to enhance their ability to move the instrument with precision and ease.

Make your own set of metal inset shapes with these outlines.

This set includes:

  • all 10 traditional Montessori metal inset shapes (both frame and inset)

Each frame is 5½" x 5½".
