Little Montessori My First Fits
"Little Montessori: My First Fits" is an educational game that aims to stimulate and develop various fundamental skills in children 12 months and older. Based on Montessori pedagogy, the game is designed to promote independence, coordination, and sensory awareness in children. Here is a more detailed overview of the product and its educational benefits:
Shape Recognition and Coordination: The game includes four wooden joints, each representing a simple geometric shape: a triangle, a square, a large circle and a small circle. Children learn to recognize these basic shapes and develop hand-eye coordination as they try to fit each shape into its corresponding space.
Sensory Development: By manipulating shapes, children explore different angles, edges and curves, which not only enhances their geometric understanding but also stimulates their sense of touch. This tactile experience is central to Montessori pedagogy, as it is believed that children learn best through physical interaction with their environment.
Autonomy and Concentration: In keeping with the Montessori philosophy, these embeddings are designed to allow children to learn and explore independently. The activity of matching each shape to its corresponding space requires attention and focus, helping children develop the ability to concentrate on a task.
Language Development: Although the game itself is nonverbal, it offers excellent opportunities for language development. Parents and educators can talk with the child about different shapes, thus introducing and reinforcing vocabulary related to shapes and colors.
Safe and Durable Materials: Considering the age of children, the joints are made of materials that are safe to handle and durable, with rounded edges to prevent accidents.
Guide for Parents: The box set includes a booklet that provides guidance on how to present these activities to children, ensuring that the interaction is both educational and in keeping with Montessori principles of self-direction and hands-on discovery.
