Like many other pre-writing activities in Montessori, pin pushing work prepares the child for writing later on, refining their pincer grasp and helping to develop hand-eye coordination and concentration. The more the child perforates across the dotted lines, the easier it will be to detach the design from the paper.
Cleaning up is part of the learning process, so make sure to encourage your child to tidy up after they finish playing. Model how to do it until your child feels confident enough to initiate the tidying up process independently.
