Experimental Box (presentation two)

How the second presentation with the Experimental Box is presented

In the second presentation with the Montessori Experimental Box the child will only be working with the Experimental Box. The directress shows the child how to hold the wooden box carefully with two hands and place it on the floor mat. She unpacks all of the triangles onto the floor mat. The directress encourages the child to use his imagination to construct the triangles to make something.

This activity is there to aid the child’s imagination and help him to think for himself and for him to discover what shapes he forms from the blue triangles in the Experimental Box. Children usually enjoy this activity.
