Two year olds naturally explore their environment and spontaneously work to order it. Sorting forks and spoons to matching pots with lids are instinctive actions that lay the groundwork for introducing Montessori pre-sensorial materials*. Building on these early, instinctive explorations, presentations in the Sensorial for the Two Year Old manual introduces each sensorial material, step-by-step. From the iconic Pink Cubes and Geometric Solids to Sound and Smelling Cylinders, the sensorial materials, isolate key sensory characteristics, offer self-correcting experiences, and encourage hands-on exploration.
*Pre-sensorial materials are designed to support the two-year-old’s exploration of the senses, in particular the qualities of the visual sense: color, shape, and size.
