What is Montessori sensory material?
Montessori sensory materials consist of a variety of sensory teaching aids that have been specially developed to train children's senses. These materials are often made from natural materials such as wood, metal and fabric and are designed to stimulate children's curiosity and interest. Frequently used Montessori sensory materials include, for example, the touch boards, the smell box set, the cylinder blocks and the colouring tablets.
Montessori materials from TimeTEX
Our range includes various Montessori learning materials, such as learning materials with the theme of the life cycle of different animals or puzzle cards for introducing and using geographical terms. These materials are designed to train children's senses in a playful way and improve their perception. By working with the sensory material, children can better understand their environment and learn to recognise connections.
Montessori materials not only stimulate children's senses. For example, we also offer word type symbols for the individual development and targeted promotion of language skills. Discover the world of Montessori materials from TimeTEX and promote the development of your pupils in a unique way!
What is the significance of Montessori sensory materials?
The development of the senses in early childhood is of crucial importance. The senses serve as the foundation for understanding and perceiving the world around us. Montessori sensory materials help children to sharpen and refine their senses, which in turn improves their ability to observe, compare and categorise objects and information. This forms the basis for later cognitive development.
How Montessori sensory materials support development
- Encouraging fine motor skills: Many Montessori sensory materials require precise movements of the hands and fingers to explore and manipulate objects. This contributes to the development of fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination.
- Training the senses: The materials are designed to challenge and stimulate the children's senses. For example, they can explore different textures, smells and sounds to develop their sensory skills.
- Independent learning: The Montessori method emphasises children's independence and independent learning. Sensory materials encourage children to explore independently and make their own discoveries.
- Concentration and patience: Working with sensory materials requires patience and perseverance. Children learn to concentrate on a task and carry it through to completion.
- Preparation for later learning areas: The development of the senses forms the basis for understanding maths, language and other complex concepts. Montessori sensory materials, such as geometric shapes, lay this important foundation.
Conclusion
Montessori sensory materials are an essential part of Montessori education and contribute significantly to the holistic development of children. These creative teaching aids promote sensory training, fine motor skills, concentration and independent learning. When children train their senses, they lay the foundation for lifelong learning and discovery. Parents and educators should therefore make sure that these materials are available in their children's educational environment in order to support their development in the best possible way.
