In Montessori Infant and Toddler environments, hand-eye coordination develops through movement and repeated interaction with materials. As children begin to reach with intention, grasp objects, and transfer them between hands, they are building control and refining their movements. Carefully prepared materials allow for this practice to happen in a clear and purposeful way, supporting concentration and independence.
