Wooden Montessori Materials - Features and Care Instructions

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.

Our Featured School

“Repetition is the secret of perfection, and this is why the exercises are connected with the common activities of daily life.”
—Maria Montessori, The Discovery of the Child

A close-up of an Imbali Montessori School learner working with the Weaving Loom. Craft handiwork forms an intrinsic part of the 3 to 6 year old practical life class in any Montessori classroom.

Imbali Montessori is a small Primary School located in the Kingdom of Eswatini, in Africa.

Imbali Montessori Primary school has planted its roots, and is growing a strong stem for supporting future generations. We are a small Montessori school situated in the Malkerns Valley opening up our community to a new way of learning! Want to know more…go explore!

I realised that the necessary movement of the hand for sewing had been prepared without sewing, and that before teaching it is first necessary to find the way to teach. This is particularly true when it is a question of gaining facility in movements. These could be carried out almost automatically through repeated exercises even apart from the work for which they were directly intended. In this way one could set himself to a task and be already capable of carrying it out without ever having directly put his hand to it, and he could complete it almost perfectly at the first attempt.

This is quite an advanced activity aimed at the elementary children. It blends in so well in my classroom, as it is a natural wood loom. Once a child gets the hang of it, they are totally engrossed.
