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.
The first edition of this document was published in English in 1914 under the title “Dr. Montessori's Own Handbook ”. In this, Maria Montessori emphasizes in a preliminary remark that this font is the only authentic and authorized manual of the Montessori method. The aim of the book is to give a concise presentation of your educational concept that is suitable for putting it into practice. The practice of Montessori pedagogy with its exercises and materials therefore takes up a lot of space. A German translation of this document appeared in 1922 and again as a second revised edition in 1928 under the title "My manual - principles and application of my new method of self-education of children".
