Montessori Color Tablets: Box 1 (Primary Colors)

Product Overview

Montessori Color Tablets Box 1 is a foundational sensorial material designed to introduce young children to the world of color. This set focuses exclusively on the three primary colors—red, yellow, and blue—providing a clear and distraction-free learning experience.

Educational Purpose

This material aids in developing the child’s visual discrimination and color perception through guided matching activities. By working with the tablets, children strengthen their ability to identify, name, and pair identical colors, while simultaneously cultivating concentration, order, and fine motor control.

What’s Included

The box contains six tablets in total, comprising three perfectly matched pairs: one pair of red, one pair of yellow, and one pair of blue. Each tablet is mounted in a small, unfinished wooden frame, making them easy and pleasant for little hands to grasp, hold, and compare.

Key Features & Benefits

Isolated Focus: Presents only the three pure primary colors, eliminating complexity and helping the child build confidence.

Tactile Design: The wooden frame provides a natural point of grip, encouraging purposeful movement and refining fine motor skills.

Visual Clarity: Each color is presented in its most vivid hue, promoting accurate perception and vocabulary development.

Durable & Child-Safe: Crafted from quality materials with non-toxic finishes, built for daily classroom or home use.

Recommended Age

Ideal for children approximately 2.5 to 3.5 years old, or whenever they show interest in naming and comparing objects in their environment.

How It’s Used

In a typical presentation, a guide introduces one color at a time, naming it clearly, then demonstrates how to find its match from the set. The child is invited to pair the remaining tablets independently. This simple, self-correcting activity encourages autonomy and mastery.

Learning Pathway

Box 1 is the first step in a structured color exploration sequence. After mastering primary color matching, children progress to Color Box 2, which introduces 11 additional colors for expanded matching and naming, and then to Color Box 3, which explores gradations of shade (from light to dark) for refined visual discrimination.
