Use Your Senses!

The Montessori Sensorial Materials are designed to engage children with hands on, active learning. Many are self-correcting. The children can match, grade, classify and label by attribute--size, color, shape, smell, taste, sound, texture or temperature. They also provide indirect preparation for reading, writing, and mathematics.

"There is nothing in the intellect which was not first in the senses, but it exists in the intellect in a different mode in the senses."                               --Aristotle
