Highland Cattle Insert Plate for Stapelstein

This 3D print template is a specially developed extension for Stapelstein®. It serves as a didactic tool for playfully promoting fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination.

Functionality & Application

The plate is inserted into the Stapelstein. The central element is the "Highland Cattle" motif with an opening in the mouth area. The task is to "feed" the cow with various materials. Excellent for this are:

Natural materials (e.g., chestnuts, acorns)

Dry food items (e.g., lentils, chickpeas, seeds)

Small felt balls or colorful pebbles

By precisely grasping and inserting the materials, motor sequences are refined and tactile perception is sharpened.

This design is an independent accessory and is not affiliated with the Stapelstein brand.
