Supports the natural way of learning, where a child explores the world through their own investigation and by engaging the senses, not just by listening to instructions.
The simple shape of a cone helps children focus on differences in geometry and practice visual and tactile discrimination while handling it.
The Montessori approach emphasizes that children are most open to sensory development especially from 2 to 6 years. The cone is a suitable addition to activities during this period.
Sensory education in the Montessori approach gives the child the opportunity to gain clear and conscious information from the environment using all the senses. Thanks to this, the child gets to know their surroundings better and gradually begins to understand them as well – not through explanations, but through their own discovery and practical manipulation.
The Montessori cone is a simple, targeted aid for working with sight and touch and for developing attention to shapes in space. Children can “feel” it, compare it, and explore it, thereby naturally strengthening their ability to perceive details and to discriminate more precisely.
Important: The price is listed for 1 piece (even though some photos may show multiple shapes as an example of the full series of aids).
