Description
The Life Cycle of a Snail Objects features the four stages of this hermaphrodite (they contain both male and female sexual organs). These objects form an integral part of the Montessori teaching, providing a tangible learning resource for the Child. Handling the objects, their muscles absorb the look and feel of the individual parts of the snail, allowing them to always visualise the objects when these insects are mentioned.
