Swing Exercises
Swing exercises, Montessori material as a preparatory exercise for learning to write in preschool

Learning to write begins with holding the pen correctly and applying strength to the fingers and hand. Then all you need is a targeted, fluid movement. The 4 boards with different swing exercises help. Writing is already a real pleasure!

Scope of the Montessori swing exercises
4 wooden exercise boards with different swing exercises, each approx. 32 x 9 x 1 cm, with a pen
Instructions for the Montessori swing exercises
Fingerprints:
The lines and patterns can only be felt and traced with the fingertips.
Tracing with the wooden pencil:
The lines and patterns are traced with the wooden pencil attached to the board.
Modification for larger hands:
The small wooden pencil is probably too short for adults and seniors. A ballpoint pen without a refill (which the practitioner gets along well with / which lies comfortably in the hand) can be used here.
4 exercise variants by turning 90 degrees:
The range of exercises can be expanded by simply turning the board 90 degrees.
Hidden lines - training power dosage:
The board is covered with greaseproof paper (or other thin paper that still shows the lines) and the pattern is traced with a pencil. The pressure on the pen must be dosed so that the pen writes, but the paper is not pierced by the pen tip.
