We are on an indefinite break while we focus on supporting and empowering our own 'Montessori child' with his transition to primary school. We are not accepting online orders at this time. Listings remain visible to help inspire ideas for Montessori-friendly resources. We encourage you to seek out other retailers to purchase those items. IF YOU HAVE A GIFT CERTIFICATE we are still honouring these and will manually process your order. Simply look through our listings to identify the resources you'd like to order, then email jessica@samontessori.com.au with this wish-list and quoting your gift certificate code. PROFESSIONAL RESOURCES can also be ordered by emailing jessica@samontessori.com.au. Only orders to redeem GIFT CERTIFICATES or for PROFESSIONAL RESOURCES will be processed via email. Other orders will not be accepted and general enquiries may not receive a response. Thank you for all the support over the years, we wish you the very best for your own Montessori journey and appreciate that you have been a part of ours!

Insect Magnifier

$19.00

Young children seem to have an innate and infinite interest in the natural world. Toddlers and preschoolers in particular are often captivated by, and curious about, tiny creatures or objects. This Insect Magnifier makes the perfect temporary habitat for those little living specimens. It is also an ideal container for other interesting natural treasures, such as shells or flowers.

The container measures approximately 10cm x 9cm, with a handle that is an additional 9cm in length. It is lightweight and easy for little hands to carry confidently. It is small enough to be conveniently portable as you wander around the garden, but also large enough to accommodate a range of interesting natural wonders or to house some habitat (such as leaves and sticks) along with an insect. 

The lids have air holes to make life comfortable for living creatures - but as the Montessori method focuses on 'care for others' as part of the Practical Life curriculum, we would recommend that you only keep insects in the container for a short period before your child returns it to its natural habitat.
