Description
The Toddler Pink Tower, a series of cubes that develop visual discrimination of size, in 3 dimensions. This sensorial activity is based upon the Pink Tower, and is an excellent way to introduce toddlers to shapes.
Children do not even realise that they are learning the basic concepts of geometry and volume; they just know that they are having fun and experimenting with shapes. Toddlers have an instinctive need to bring order out of a jumble of differently sized cubes, sorting them by sight, touch and weight.
Features
- the direct objective for the child:
- to build the tower from the biggest cube to the smallest cube
- indirectly, the child learns:
- focus, concentration and gains self-esteem
- to introduce the sensorial concept of shape, dimension and size through visual perception
- indirect preparation for mathematics as the Child experiences comparison grading and seriation
- perfect in size; each cube is 2cm / (¾”) larger, in all dimensions, than the other
- 5 cubes in total, the smallest being 2cm³ / (¾”³) to the largest being 10cm³ / (4″³)
- manufactured from beechwood, coated with the traditional Montessori pink colour
- beautifully finished with smoothed edges

I didnt purchase the Toddler Pink Tower, but I am reviewing for a colleague. Whilst I dont condone for this to be on or in a Montessori shelf, it is well made.
