Montessori sensorial materials help children aged 3 to 6 refine their senses one at a time: sight (Colour Tablets, geometric solids and volumes), touch (Touch Tablets, smooth and rough boards, fabric box, mystery bag), temperature (Thermic Tablets and thermic bottles), weight and pressure (pressure cylinders), and smell and taste (smelling and tasting bottles).
By sorting, matching and grading, the child prepares their mind for maths and language. Here you will find the materials and their accessories: work cards for the Pink Tower, the Brown Stair and the cylinders, and geometry supports and trays.
Frequently asked questions
They are a set of objects designed by Maria Montessori to isolate one quality at a time (colour, size, texture, temperature, smell and so on). The child compares, matches and arranges these objects, and the material itself shows them their mistakes. They are used mainly between the ages of 3 and 6, at home or in the classroom.
Start with simple matching activities, where the child finds two identical objects: Colour Tablets, Touch Tablets, mystery bag. Then move on to grading activities (from lightest to darkest, from smoothest to roughest) and to the smelling and tasting bottles.
