Sensorial
A KEY TO THE ENVIRONMENT
Sensorial materials qualify the exploration and knowledge of the environment through the child’s senses. It is a true cultural form that leads to perfectioning one’s personality, at the same level of language or mathematics. The sensorial materials connect the body and the mind thanks to their innate qualities: the isolation of quality, shade and error control which allows the child to correct itself. “With the sensorial materials we give a guide, a kind of impression classification you can get from each sense: colour, sound, noise, form and dimension, weight, tactile impression, smell and flavour… These qualities could be compared to the alphabet: a few sounds compared to countless words. Giving the qualities separately is like giving an exploration alphabet: that is to say, a key to open the doors of knowledge.” (Maria Montessori, The discovery of the child)
