Color box: Learning colors in kindergarten

The color box contains 11 pairs of chromatic tablets that allow your child to awaken him to learning the primary colors (red, blue and yellow) and secondary (green, pink, gray, orange, brown, purple , black and white).

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 and secondary colors.

Montessori mathematics: Representation of quantities

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

Fine motor skills
