SENSORIAL

“The sense, being explorers of the world, open the way to knowledge.  Our apparatus for educating the senses offers the child a key to guide his explorations of the world.”

-Maria Montessori

Sensorial means that the Child at this age (between 3 and 6 years old), learns through their senses more than through their intellect. The sensorial materials are tools for children to refine each of their senses. Each material isolates a specific quality: smell, size, weight, texture, flavour, colour, etc.  The main objective is to bring order out of chaos as they develop and refine the different, individual senses.
