Sensorial Activities
These activities use Montessori-developed materials which help children learn accurate information about physical properties of the environment. Each piece of sensorial material isolates one quality, such as dimension, color, weight, texture, shape, smell or sound. Because children of this age absorb the world through their senses, experience with the sensorial materials provides the foundation for both physical and mental activities in learning. The sensorial materials also enable children to refine all of their senses, including vision, small motor movements, hearing, and speech - in preparation for learning and using written language.
