The innovative teaching materials contained in this box have been designed and created following the principles of the Montessori method. They have been designed to be used by children on their own, no help is required from the adult who can simply observe their child as they enthusiastically discover the world. Thanks to the fun and enjoyable activities proposed, play becomes an educational moment for your children whose curiosity will inspire them to start building up experiences for the future. Maria Montessori believed that babies had innate abilities and that it was up to adults to offer suitable stimulus to develop them. This box, for babies from 0 to 12 months, contains some entertaining cards with shapes and patterns in black and white as well as coloured cards showing interesting animal faces to stimulate the attention and visual perception of newborns, and to be used as a first puzzle for babies from 10 months on. Parents themselves may enjoy making up a memory book with photos of their babies' funniest and most interesting expressions, using the poster included in the box. Ages 0 - 12 months
