The Nienhuis Montessori 3D wooden grammar symbols noun and verb set comprises of two grammar symbols as scaled three-dimensional models presented on a single white lacquered wooden tray.

As children respond well to shapes and colours, the grammar symbols were introduced by Dr. Maria Montessori as a system of coloured shapes with each shape and colour having a meaning. The noun is a word that names a person, place, thing, quality or act. The symbol for the noun is represented by a black triangle. The triangle has the same shape as the pyramid, and the colour black is for carbon, believed to be the first mineral discovered by humans. The verb is a word that expresses action, existence of occurrence or simply it gives life to the sentence. The symbol for the verb is a circle, representing the shape of the sun which gives life and its red colour symbolizes blood which is life.
