Color Resemblace Sorting Task. Montessori Sensorial Material.

This wooden box contains 24 skittles painted in 4 shades of blue, red, yellow, green, orange and purple.
This material is part of a set of activities included in the Montessori pre-school Sensorial Curriculum. When using any material related to discrimination of color always think and plan the following:
Language:
• The child needs time to experience the hues before the language is given
• Dark & light - establish a quality
• Darker & lighter - comparative
• Darkest & lightest - superlative
Purpose: '
Direct
• Visual discrimination of color
• Sensorial training, providing the child with the key to the world of color
• Development of the chromatic sense
Indirect
• Preparation for art
Control of Error:
• Within the child (visual disharmony will be perceived)
