Video, Learning colours with Montessori Colour Tablets

Montessori Sensorial Lesson - Color Box I & II
By My Works Montessori, Kelly https://myworksmontessori.wordpress.com/

Viewing time: 10 minutes

The Sensorial learning area of our Montessori curriculum refines your child’s ability to discern with their senses and describe what they experience. In his tutorial video Kelly shows you how to present colours to your child. The Montessori materials are called Colour Tablets and this video shows how to use the first two exercises: Colour box 1 and Colour box 2.

• Colour box 1 Introduces the concept of colour and colour name using the primary colours blue, red and yellow.
• Colour box 2 Introducing secondary colours to your child:  green, orange, purple, black, white, grey, brown, and pink. The primary colours, blue, red and yellow,  are also included in the set.

Dr Maria Montessori’s original material was made from silk thread wrapped around a frame. In the preschool we have a wooden version of the colour tablets, but, as Kelly says, you can make these at home using a PC printer. Kelly shows you how to do matching games with your child.
