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!

Colourful Umbrella Puzzle

$45.00

Puzzles offer opportunities for problem-solving, persistence and patience. The striking hues on this Colourful Umbrella Puzzle offers the perfect point of interest to inspire a child to get hands-on!

As the child removes and reassembles the pieces, they're using observations of length, as well as recollection of patterns, to rebuild the puzzle.

As each piece is held, the chunky knob encourages the development of a three finger pincer grip. This prepares and strengthens the hand for the same position and movements that will be needed for writing! 

The presence of a palette of colours is not only attractive and engaging, but also provides an opportunity for children to learn the language of these colours and shades. An adult can help introduce the names of each colour and can highlight that some show examples of light and dark. 

The unique shape of the pieces, coupled with their bright and bold colours, may also inspire spontaneous creative explorations. A child can make other patterns or pictures using the pieces out of the frame.

The Colourful Umbrella Puzzle is the perfect addition to a prepared environment to provide a fun experience for the mind and the hands!

The puzzle measures approximately 26cm width ×18.5 length with a depth of 3cms
