The rotating drum is a classic Montessori material for infants aged 6 months and over.
The material consists of a wooden drum with several panels in different bright colors, including one with a mirror-like surface. Through play, the child is hypnotized by the beautiful bright colors and fascinated by seeing his own face in the drum.
These activities help refine visual development, and the soft, soothing sound created when the drum is turned stimulates auditory sensory training.
Hand-eye coordination is improved, as are basic muscle strength, fine and gross motor skills, and understanding of cause and effect.
