Give preschoolers the gift of learning with this Montessori-inspired early-childhood activity book! In the Montessori Method knowledge develops through the senses and learning is nourished by freedom of choice practical experience and direct experimentation. This method of educating children has been widely implemented around the world in preschools and beyond. This engaging bookwith 24 pages of stickersfocuses on three main early-learning concepts: colors numbers and shapes. Each activity be it choosing the correct color to fill in a picture finding the hidden triangle or helping a squirrel count his acorns stimulates learning through play and enhances the childs cognitive development. The activities become progressively more complex according to the three stages of a childs learning: getting to know the material through sensory experience recognizing the material and being able to explain the material. For example an activity will ask a child to identify the color yellow then to pick which object to color yellow and explain why. The stickers tie in to the activities making the experience more tactile for the child.
