“ We
cannot create observers by saying ‘observe’ but giving them the power and
the means for this observation” - Maria
Montessori

| Children
live in a world of senses – colour, size, dimensions, shape, form, sound,
touch and smell. There are special sensorial Montessori materials such as the
pink tower, the colour tablets and the sound boxes which illustrate clear
concepts such as large and small, colours, loud and soft and so on.

| These
materials have a specific way to be used because it is in this way the child
develops an understanding of concept. This leads to an incredible level of
creativity in the child, enabling the child to clarify, classify and comprehend
the world and internalize concepts such as size, shape, colour, taste and
sound. |

materials appeal directly to the young child’s active sensory antennae,
making learning a natural result of the child’s desire to explore.
