Description

Mention the word “Montessori”, and often a person’s first association with this word is the Pink Tower, as the quintessential activity for all Montessori classrooms for children under the age of 6.  The main aim of this activity is to help children conceptualise size; in three different dimensions; visual, muscular and sensorial.  The Pink Tower Cards are an additional 2-dimensional activity for the Child, to enhance their experience.
