Please note:
Montessori materials are NOT toys, but educational materials. Proper use requires appropriate training.
Montessori materials may contain small, rough, sharp, or other elements that could cause injury or damage if used improperly.
It may therefore only be used by children under the supervision of appropriately trained persons and in an appropriate environment.
With the help of this material, children learn to differentiate and name different shades of color. The child should make a series of light to dark or vice versa from the nuances of one color. This provides the child with preparation for the sense of order.
