Geometric solids activity set – Nienhuis Montessori

The Nienhuis Montessori geometric solids activity set is used for additional exercises with the geometric solids and the geometric solids control book. The set includes exercise cards, divider tabs and a wooden box for storage.

The geometric solids are sensorial material and introduce the child to solid geometry with a set comprising of ten solid wooden shapes. Working with this material allows the child to understand 3D shapes by making them tangible objects. A key part of the Montessori sensorial curriculum, the solids are all painted blue for isolation purposes, avoiding the child confusing shape with colour.

The geometric solids are Montessori materials that challenge and shape a child’s stereognostic sense, which is the ability to perceive and understand both the form and nature of objects through touch. This leads to an awareness of how shapes form the basis for everyday objects, laying the foundation for future work in geometry. The set of solids can be supplemented with the two-dimensional geometric plane figures to link the three-dimensional geometric solids and the geometric solids basket to store the solids (sold separately).

This Montessori material is suitable for children aged 3-6 years.
