Description
The Child compares the shape of the solids to a well-known item, i.e. the sphere is like a ball. This activity builds the Child’s vocabulary. At the same time, they develop an image of a named geometric shape that will help them later in life when they learn mathematics.
Features
- 10 x three-dimensional geometric objects made in solid beechwood, painted blue.
- 10 x two-dimensional geometric plane figures made in varnished Beechwood

“Of equal importance to language skills are the blue geometric (solids) materials. (These) help the child to concentrate on different shapes. Since shape is the defining characteristic of each letter of the alphabet, Dr. Montessori designed several sensorial exercises to make children aware of this quality.” A Parents’ Guide to the Montessori Classroom by Aline D. Wolf.

The geometric solds are very nice quality. I also purchased the activity set that goes with it, which helps with the presentations.
