Sensory education in the Montessori approach gives the child the opportunity to gain clear and conscious information from the environment through their senses. Maria Montessori believed that a child perceives with all senses from birth – it is through them that they become familiar with their surroundings, study it, and gradually begin to understand it.
Children do not learn only by being told something, but above all through their own experiences. This Montessori fabric box supports active discovery – the child can take the materials in their hands, compare them, and thus develop attention to detail. The greatest openness to developing the senses is in the period from 2 to 6 years, when it is suitable to offer as many opportunities as possible to practice all the senses.
