MOLTT Colour Gradation & Matching Set: Refining the Visual Sense

This sophisticated sensorial material is designed to deepen a child’s understanding of colour through grading and matching. It provides a powerful tool for vocabulary enrichment, allowing children to learn precise colour names and descriptive terms such as "lightest," "darkest," "lighter than," and "darker than."

Complete Set Contents:

24 Colour Discs: Crafted from smooth beechwood and painted in precise, graduated shades. The set includes four distinct shades for each of the six classic colours: red, yellow, blue, green, orange, and purple.

6 Matching Colour Boards: Each board displays the four shades of one colour arranged in a clear progression from dark to light, serving as a control and reference for the activity.

6 Wooden Stands: One stand for each colour group, designed to neatly hold and organize the four corresponding discs.

Storage Solution: All components are neatly organized in a durable wooden box with two compartments, fostering order and independence.

Educational Purpose & Value:

This is more than a sorting game; it is a direct exercise in refining visual perception and chromatic discrimination. By working with subtle shade variations, children develop a keen eye for detail and enhance their ability to identify, sequence, and match colours with precision. The activity naturally cultivates concentration, a sense of order, and problem-solving skills.

Key Developmental Benefits:

Advanced Visual Discrimination: Challenges and refines the ability to perceive minute differences in colour hue and intensity.

Language Enrichment: Introduces a nuanced vocabulary for describing colour and comparative relationships.

Cognitive Skills: Strengthens logical thinking, sequencing (seriation), and one-to-one matching competencies.

Indirect Preparation: Lays a foundational sensitivity to colour and design, relevant for art, aesthetics, and observational sciences.
