TibaToes™ Montessori Switch Board

A Little Control Panel Made for Curious Hands

The TibaToes™ Montessori Switch Board is a hands-on wooden activity board with different controls for children to explore. Instead of simply looking at pictures, children can flip switches, press a button and turn a dial, discovering how each control feels and moves.

What Is a Montessori Switch Board?

Think of it as a miniature control panel for play. The board brings together familiar switch-style mechanisms in one compact place: three rocker switches, a blue push button, a yellow-topped rotary dial, coloured lights, a key and a blue cord. Children can explore these features through supervised, hands-on play.

How Does It Work?

1. Choose a control: Invite your child to start with a switch, button or dial.
2. Try the movement: Flip a rocker switch, press the button or rotate the dial.
3. Notice what happens: Look at the controls and coloured lights while exploring the board. Ask what looks or feels different after an action.
4. Try again: Let your child repeat an action, switch to another control or experiment with a different sequence.

Different controls require different hand movements. Children can explore one feature at a time without needing to complete a fixed sequence.

What Is It For?

• Fine motor practice: Pressing, flipping and turning encourage controlled finger and hand movements.
• Hand-eye coordination: Children practise reaching for and operating individual controls.
• Curiosity and exploration: A variety of mechanisms invites children to investigate how things move and respond.
• Independent attempts: Children can repeat simple actions at their own pace, with an adult nearby.
• Screen-free play: A tactile activity for quiet playtime and parent-child interaction.
