Montessori Materials

STARS Certificate for Daycare
While the usual classroom supplies such as crayons and paper are used in the Montessori classroom, there are also many materials that are specific to the Montessori Method. These include counting beads, dressing frames, practical life materials and more. These materials are hands-on and give students a tool to complete their work which also allows for a constant way for children to correct their own work without the need of the teacher. Over time, the materials and concepts become more challenging when the child is ready. Often, materials are arranged on trays or in shallow baskets that allow children to easily take the materials to a work mat which has been laid on the floor.

Not all Montessori materials are catalog ordered necessities. There are basic supplies such as counting beads, work mats, maps, and organized coloring utensils. Many of these materials can be teacher made or purchased.

How to incorporate these materials:
  • Provide a variety of different learning materials that appeal to all five senses
  • Place materials on low shelves in baskets or shallow trays
  • Allow children to decide which materials to use when they are working
  • Give instructions on how to use these materials
  • Slowly add these new materials so that children aren’t overwhelmed
  • Design materials so that they grow with the child and his or her ability level
