Sorting with Small Beads and Tongs is a classic Montessori Preliminary Exercise that helps children refine their fine motor coordination and develop the pincer grip — an essential foundation for writing and other daily tasks.

Children love using tongs to transfer shiny beads from one bowl to another. This simple, purposeful activity encourages concentration, careful movement, and independence. Each repetition strengthens hand muscles and coordination while offering a sense of calm and accomplishment.

The complete set includes:

Momma and baby birds help young learners practice counting, sorting and colors in an interactive and engaging way.

The bowls stack, and the momma birds can be used as finger puppets.

Little learners will love matching birds and nests by color.

This deluxe set comes with 36 pieces! Set includes 24 baby birds in 6 colors, 6 momma birds, 6 color nests, and an Activity Guide.

Birds come in two sizes and six vibrant colors (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple), so they're easy to sort, match, and count.

Nests measure 4'L x 1'H; birds measure 1'H (baby) and 1 3/4 'H (momma).

This preliminary exercise is a chance to perfect an isolated skill.

Before children approach more complex activities, they must first master the basics.

Later, children will use droppers for polishing, color mixing, and science activities.

The whole set includes:

 2 glass bowls (2.75” in diameter), small size tray (10”x 7”), and a 3.5”glass dropper.

This outstanding activity set gives children hands-on experience using the three primary colors to create secondary colors. It can be introduced as part of Practical Life exercises, and later extended into Sensorial, Art, and Early Science areas.

Large white plastic tray includes 3 clear glass bottles with eye droppers, 3 small glass bowls, and 1 large glass bowl. 
Food coloring not included.

An enjoyable hands-on activity involves utilizing the three fundamental colors to produce secondary colors. Children develop fine motor skills, concentration, and coordination while also exploring scientific concepts through experimentation.

This preliminary exercise, sorting by color, is a chance to perfect an isolated skill.

Before children approach more complex activities, they must first master the basics.

The whole set includes:

One square ceramic dish (2.75”x 2.75”), one 3-compartment dish (6”x 2.5”), six ceramic beads, and a small size tray (10”x 7”).

Locks and Keys with Wooden Tray is a beautifully crafted Montessori activity designed to refine hand coordination and strengthen concentration. Children are naturally fascinated by locks, turning the key, hearing the click, and discovering how things open and close.

Through this work, they also experience the Montessori principle of Control of Error: if the key doesn’t fit, they immediately see and correct the mistake by themselves. This gives a deep sense of satisfaction, independence, and confidence.

The complete set includes:

🔑 Key Matching Game | Montessori-Inspired Visual Discrimination Activity

Support your child's cognitive development with this beautifully crafted Key Matching Game, designed to foster visual discrimination, logical thinking, and concentration — all essential Montessori early learning skills.

Opening & Closing Activity – Set 1 is a Montessori Practical Life exercise that strengthens fine motor skills, hand–eye coordination, and concentration. Children love the real challenge of opening and closing different purses, then returning each one to the basket with care.

As they work, children experience the Montessori idea of control of error: if a closure doesn’t open or close, they notice it and try again independently. This builds confidence and patience.

The set includes:

• 5 fabric purses, each with a different closure (examples: drawstring, zipper, snap, clasp)
• Small willow basket for presentation and storage

Perfect for children aged 3–6 years at home or in the classroom.
