Product Description
The Montessori Sound Cylinders are a core Sensorial material designed to refine auditory discrimination skills. Children match pairs of cylinders based on sound intensity, enhancing their ability to differentiate between subtle auditory variations. This material supports the Montessori principle of isolating difficulty and offers built-in control of error for self-correction and independent learning.
