Color box: Learning colors in kindergarten

The color box contains 3 pairs of color tablets that allow your child to awaken to learning primary colors (red, blue and yellow). In the retina these 3 associated colors reconstitute white light.

One of the objectives of this set is to work by association. Indeed, the child learns by comparison and association by grouping tablets of the same color in order to develop his visual and cognitive skills.

The shelves are identical so as not to present distractions to the child (different shapes, sizes or materials). Therefore, the child will focus only on distinguishing between primary colors.

Montessori mathematics: Representation of quantities

This Montessori toy also allows you to develop the basics of the representation of quantities.

Fine motor skills

This color box will develop your child's motor skills because he will have to relate the movement and flexibility of his fingers to coordination with his eyes, which will develop his sense of touch and his ability to observe.
