Customer Ratings:

I have been looking for good quality metal insets, but they are very cost prohibitive. I love this option for a fraction of the price of the metal ones. I actually watched the lectures given by Montessorian Margaret Homfray who said she preferred plastic insets to metal, which made me feel confident with this purchase. I received the pink and blue set (didn't have to make a special request) which I wanted and are the traditional inset colors. The only reason I didn't give these 5 stars is because they don't come with a tray which would be ideal for display, and because the knobs to pull the shape out could be better and easier to grasp. Otherwise, well worth the money!

My children attend a Montessori school and this is one of their favorite lessons. Helped my daughter with handwriting and she gave my younger son lessons on how to use correctly. Learning can be fun.

If you are a Montessori teacher you will not be able to do the magical presentation were you place inset onto the traces shape and fully hide the first tracing because there is way to much space between the inset and the outer form, badly engineered. Also. the measurements of the shapes do not allow for some of the classic extensions and variations.

I am very disappointed and am going to buy a used metal set instead. Very poor craftsmen

Both my boys enjoy using these. It helps develop hand writing skills and teaches shapes. They also seem extremely durable.

My 3.5 year old is using insets at his Montessori Casa class to build his finger muscles and fine motor skills so he can scribe better. He LOVES doing this activity and is always bringing samples home. Now, he can actually work on them at home as well. Only thing wish this offered was a tray to hold them too.
