Description

The Toddler Brown Stair, is also known as the Toddler Broad Stair.  This sensorial activity consists of a series of prisms that develop visual discrimination of size, in width or breadth, while the length remains constant.  This sensorial activity is based upon the Brown Stair, and is an excellent way to introduce toddlers to the concept of area and volume.

Children do not even realise that they are learning the basic concepts of geometry; they just know that they are having fun and experimenting with shapes.  Toddlers have an instinctive need to bring order out of a jumble of prisms, all the same length but different in width.  They love to sort them by sight, touch and weight.

Features of the Toddler Brown Stair

One of the attractions to the Montessori Method is the extensive use of wood.

We use several types of wood, sourced from renewable sources, in the production of our Montessori Materials.

  • Solid beechwood for cylinder blocks, pink towers, dressing frames and brown stairs.
  • Birchply for trays, holders and animal and botany puzzles.
  • MDF for puzzle maps
  • Pineply for boxes and containers

 

We ensure that the coatings and inks used are not only eco-friendly, but also non-toxic.

Our wooden products are manufactured by responsible partner factories both locally and abroad and ensure that fair labour practices are adopted.

  • Most of the surfaces can be wiped with a damp cloth if exposed to dirt or grime.
  • Avoid leaving any of our wooden product in direct sunlight, as it may warp certain woods and/ or the coating may fade over time.
