Description
Maria Montessori advocated the use of ‘real’ glass, to teach children how to use; and care for; fragile, breakable items. This would enable them to learn to have more control when handling them. It is important to present these findings; and show the Child how to use these products correctly; before offering them to the Child. This 50ml small glass is easy to hold, and gives the Child just enough to satisfy their thirst.
