Product Description
The Montessori Thermic Bottles set is a classic Sensorial material used to refine a child's ability to perceive temperature differences through touch. This set includes 5 pairs of identical-looking metal bottles housed in a solid wooden box. Each pair can be filled with water at varying temperatures, encouraging children to match them by tactile temperature recognition.

How to Use
Fill each bottle in a pair with the same temperature of water (e.g., cold, warm, or room temperature). Shuffle the bottles and invite the child to match them using only their sense of touch. Children learn to identify and pair bottles by feeling temperature differences, strengthening their stereognostic and thermic sense.
