Kiddison Montessori Clothesline Activity Set – Practical Life Preliminary Exercise for Casa (Age 3+)

This is such a wonderful toddler material for hanging up clothes

Super disappointed in this product that I'm going to return. The clothespins are too heavy so when you put them on the clothesline they flip over and the clothes stick straight up. Not worth the money at all.

I love pinching and grasping toys in my preschool classroom. This was unique and exactly what I needed.

The dowels did not fit properly in the holes and had to be hammered in. After they finally were placed in, the clothing items could not properly be put on the clothesline with the clothespins because they would turn upside down. I had to return this :-(

When I first saw this product, I thought this will be a great activity for our toddler to practice his pincer grip and learn a practical life lesson which he will eventually lose interest in later.However, this activity is what he has come back to month after month! The variety of clothing (which are made of felt cut outs) has peaked his interest and he enjoys putting the clothespin on the line.Set up is not the easiest and I would have wished for small modifications. Firstly, the rope that goes through each post would have been better served if there was a pin provided to help get in between the holes. Secondly and more importantly, the posts are manually pushed into the appropriate holes on the base instead of a screw in motion. However, the holes are so small that getting the posts in there and keeping them in there is a hard challenge. Only removing one star for that reason but otherwise a great product!

Adorable product, nice quality, but would recommend getting a pack of tiny clothespin to replace the ones provided as they are too heavy for the mini clothesline :)
