Description

The Spindle Boxes represent a parallel exercise in associating the numerals with the proper quantities.  This time the numerals are in a fixed order and the quantities are loose.

The first compartment is labeled 0 and this is the child’s first introduction to this symbol.  He usually wants to put a spindle in this compartment but has to learn that Zero means none or nothing.

This activity has ten compartments labeled with the figures Zero through Nine.  The 45 spindles are kept in a separate box for the exercise of inserting a spindle in the relevant compartment, i.e. one single spindle in compartment numbered 1.

Features

  • The Spindle Box is made in birchply with 10 seperate compartments.
  • 45 loose beechwood spindles are carefully shaped to be consistent whilst being able to carefully stack in the compartment.

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.

Care instructions for Childrens House Wooden Materials:

  • If wooden products are exposed to liquids, wipe dry as quickly as possible.
  • 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.

    The spindles are incredible quality. I am so intrigued to know how they make them the shape that they are. I have previously tried to make them myself, but once you see this set, you will never want to try and make your own material again. They fit so nicely in the box when placed inside. And they are easy to get out again.
