The Tree Puzzle

Description

Nature fascinates toddlers and early learners as they explore the trees, leaves and flowers in the outdoors. Returning to class, the Child replicates what they experienced in various elements, whether through painting, books or even puzzles. The traditional Montessori Tree Puzzle is a great hands-on learning experience. Wooden puzzle pieces with knobs, allow the Child to lift each piece, with the correct grip, and to replace it accurately.

The leafy branches, trunk and roots, on the puzzle, are clearly distinguishable, separate from each other. These features present the perfect opportunities to develop a conversation about the function of each element, i.e. how the roots suck up water and transport it up to the leaves.

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.
