Children live in a world of senses, color, size, dimensions, shape, form, sound, touch, taste and smell. The sensorial material helps the child to classify all these impressions that he has absorbed from the environment. These materials provide a key to the world for understanding abstraction.

What Is Montessori Sensorial?
Through different Montessori Sensorial activities, children can organise and distinguish sensory impressions so that they have a better understanding of the world around them. These classifications then serve as the building blocks for organised intelligence which helps them to problem solve and adapt.
When children participate in Sensorial activities at our Montessori School, they learn about differences and similarities in colour, shape, form and dimensions. They also learn key skills such as how to distinguish between taste, sound, and smell.

Montessori Sensorial Activities
Visual discrimination is a key part of Montessori Sensorial activities. Children learn how to identify different dimensions, lengths, sizes and widths in order to better classify and clarify their environment.
Visual and tactile Sensorial activities include:
- Pink Tower
- Knobbed Cylinders
- Brown Stair
- Geometric Solids
- Touch Boards
- Thermic Tablets
Children also develop their auditory sensory skills through activities such as bells and sound cylinders. Special Montessori materials including scent bottles and objects in the classroom can help children to distinguish and identify smells, whereas food preparation and tasting help them to identify their favourite foods!
Although the sensorial material may look simple, they provide so much more. When children use these materials they are refining their powers of discrimination, creating an ordered mind, enhancing their memory and recall, categorising their impressions and building a foundation for rational thinking and intelligence.

Why Are Montessori Sensorial Activities Important?
Broadening your child’s senses and being able to classify the world they see, hear, feel, smell and taste around them makes them more perceptive, aware and logical.
Especially until the age of 6, children can absorb limitless amounts of knowledge which helps them to become more curious and engaged in the objects and people around them.
As well as providing them with skills for later life, Sensorial activities help children in Mathematics and Language because they’re able to identify differences, categorise, problem-solve and sort according to a specific identifier.
