Ball Tracker

This Montessori Ball Tracker is a classic toy that offers endless possibilities for learning and fun for your little one.

This consists of a natural wooden structure "the track" and four balls in bright colors. The child drops the top ball and it rolls down. It's a simple game, but it offers enormous benefits for your little ones, such as:

• Develops Tracking Skills:  Allows your little one to focus on a moving object. Your little one will watch the rolling ball keeping his/her head still, and this gesture prepares their eyes for reading.
  
  
• Strengthens Eye Muscles:  As your little one is able to focus and track the ball for longer periods of time, he/she will strengthen their eye muscles.
  
  
• Develops coordination:  your little coordinates the movement of both eyes while focusing and following the ball. It also improves hand-eye coordination as it reaches and catches the ball to repeat the game.
  
  
• Develops concentration : your little one will repeatedly play with this toy and, without realizing it, will begin to build the foundation for concentration on a single activity. 
  
  
• Learn problem-solving skills : if the ball falls or does not enter, your little one begins to solve problems. 
  
  
• Teaches the basic concepts of logic : when your little one inserts the ball into the structure he/she will begin to predict what will happen next. He/She could also put their hands at the end of the course to catch the ball before it arrives.
  
  
• Develop gross and fine motor skills:  Your little one will catch the ball, squat, bob and reach out repeatedly.  
  
  
• Develop bilateral motor integration,  i.e. using and coordinating both sides of the body at the same time.
