The smelling bottles are a part of the early childhood Montessori Sensorial.

Smelling bottles are standard material in the Sensorial area of a Montessori classroom. The smelling bottles are a part of the early childhood Montessori Sensorial lesson sequence, focusing on the olfactory sense.

Children and adults alike can have fun with the smelling jars, and they’re easily adaptable for different spices and leaves. The purpose is for the child to develop their sense of smell. The process is simple – the child sniffs their way through the bottles trying to match two identical scents.

Making the smelling bottles is pretty straightforward and can be done with items we already have around our school compound – betel leaves, pandan leaves, curry leaves, and kaffir leaves.

 

Polygons!

Polygons!

It’s polygons for Sensorial! Can you recall how much time it took for you to remember and understand the name of polygons? Through materialized concepts, children can understand these abstract concepts.

Sensory Exploration

Sensory Exploration

Children’s sensory exploration through touch alone and using a blindfold is the way to do it. They experienced pairing and sorting various surfaces using only their little hands! Which was challenging at first, but they were excited to try and finally succeeded!

Sensorial-rough and smooth: “Playing with texture in groups encourages co-operation and individual creative development. And just as importantly, it’s also great fun.” – Judith Stevens.

Everything around us has a shape AND a colour.

The elder children practised a deeper understanding of shapes, angles. And triangle is the best shape to study when it comes to angles.

When a child is aware of his environment, he is ready to discover more than he could be.
