Not So Pink Tower

1. Visual Judgment: Enhances a child's ability to perceive and understand dimensional variations as they stack cubes of different sizes.

2. Coordination and Accuracy: Improves fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and precision as children handle and align the cubes.

3. Spatial Awareness: Develops an understanding of volume and spatial relationships through the physical interaction with varying cube sizes.

4. Sensory Exploration: Provides a hands-on learning experience that supports the sensory development central to Montessori education.

5. Problem-Solving Skills: Encourages problem-solving and critical thinking as children figure out how to stack the cubes in the correct order and balance.

6.Colour and Material Recognition: Offers an opportunity to learn about colours and the natural texture of wood through different paint finishes.

1. Introduction: Start by introducing the Not So Pink Tower to the child, showing them the cubes and explaining that they will be stacking them from smallest to largest.

2. Exploration: Allow the child to handle the cubes, feeling their texture and observing their sizes and colours.

3. Stacking: Demonstrate how to stack the cubes from smallest to largest, ensuring they are aligned properly. Encourage the child to mimic this process.

4. Sequencing: Guide the child to arrange the cubes in size order. Help them understand the concept of volume by comparing the sizes of the cubes.

5. Balancing: Challenge the child to stack the cubes in a stable manner, balancing them carefully to avoid toppling. This will enhance their coordination and accuracy.

6. Creative Play: Encourage the child to experiment with different stacking patterns or arrangements, fostering creativity and exploration.

7.Discussion: Talk about the different colours and sizes of the cubes, reinforcing their learning about volume, colour, and the properties of the materials.
