Mama Jama

the story telling Mama!


These children are always excited to see Mama Jama here at Montessori!

They hang on every word!

When you add the wonderful story teller AND the fact that it is pajama day...
sounds like you have a perfect day to me!

Traditional Montessori Toy

These little beauties are Knobbed Cylindrical Blocks.
They look simple enough, but...

The cylinders vary in diameter and height. Again, simple enough - but, there is a greater purpose than only the fun of playing with blocks. That would be plenty!

The Aim:

1. To help develop the child's visual discrimination of size, volume, thickness and height. To develop eye and hand coordination and enhance fine motor skill.

2. Indirectly, to prepare the child for writing through the handling of the cylinders by their knobs.

3. Indirectly, to prepare the child for later work in Mathematics, through observation of the regular difference in the cylinders.
