46 - 48 Months

Welcome to The Analyst Play Kit for months 46-48

Your 3-year-old (almost 4!) is in the latter stages of what Montessori practitioners call the “sensitive period for small objects,” which means they love to play with, study, and manipulate little things. As a baby, they would inspect a piece of lint or a tiny bug; now, they’ll want to figure out where a small toy fits, what it feels like, and how they can play with it. 

As your child’s fine motor skills become more complex and precise, they’re also becoming more resilient, independent, and focused. The learning toys in The Analyst Play Kit support your child’s interest in using their hands to accomplish real-life tasks. Your child will sew, measure, pour, guess the textures of different objects by touch, and even start to follow basic visual instructions. 

We encourage you to explore the Play Guide for expert-backed tips, fun at-home activities, and month-by-month support. Every page helps you make the most of at-home learning and your time together.
