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!

Water Cycle Puzzle

$26.00

A delightful puzzle that introduces important concepts about science, nature, and sustainability

I also love that the puzzle itself is sustainable because it can be used for a long period by a child (or many children) at varying levels of development.

The chunky puzzle pieces make the puzzle perfect for toddlers who are working on matching by shape or colour. 

Preschoolers can look more deeply at the symbolism of the puzzle to understand the representation of a cycle that is so fundamental to our weather patterns and our world.

An adult can scaffold this learning by asking questions, such as "What happens when the sun heats up the water in the ocean?" or "When the rain falls, how does that help the trees?" 

The puzzle might be a starting point for longer periods of scientific inquiry but on its own it already provides invaluable information as well as promoting problem-solving and motor control. 

 

The circular puzzle has a diameter of approximately 21cm and the puzzle pieces are approximately 2cm in height. 

Suitable for ages 18 months +
