Montessori Sensorial: Brown Stair and Extensions


Montessori Sensorial: Brown Stair
The Brown Stair has 10 prisms. 
Length and Width of the biggest prism are 10x10cm. 
The length and width of the smallest prism is 1x1cm.
Presentation: Show child the 10 prisms in the right order.
Show child how to hold/carry them (with both hands and slowly, carefully).
Extension 1: Put Brown Stair together, ask child to close his/her eyes and remove one of the prisms. Push all prisms together to not show the gap that the prism was taken out of.  Show it to the child and have him/her say where it belongs.
Extension 2: Same as Extension 1, but this time, put the prism behind you so the child will rely solely on the rest of the stair, not on the prism removed.
