The Montessori Materials

Sensorial

From birth, children are driven to explore the world through the senses. These materials give that drive an order.

Children, from birth, are driven to explore their world using the senses. The world is a profusion of colours, sizes, shapes, smells, sounds, textures and tastes.

Montessori sensorial materials are scientifically developed, presented with exactness, and used by the child with exactness. Sensorial activities allow his total development through the senses. As the child works with the materials he compares things on a qualitative level and becomes conscious of each of the physical properties of his environment. This helps him order his mind, classify his experiences, and store up impressions in his “muscular memory”.

The sensorial work is a preparation for the study of sequence and progression, and a basis for the development of skills such as music, language and mathematics. By performing these activities the child’s motor movements are further refined, his senses are sharpened, and his intellectual appreciation of his environment is increased.
