Tavar and the Montessori Method
-
Educating with sensoriality?
Did you know that wood is a highly suitable material for stimulating children’s sensoriality?
In fact, wood is solid and warm to the touch: a Tavar parquet floor is perfectly suited for taking one’s first steps in complete safety and for stimulating the development of tactile sensoriality in contact with wood.
This material was favoured by Maria Montessori to create children’s games, but also beds and pedagogical tools. The Montessori method does not consider compartmentalised learning, but helps the child to create awareness through a holistic approach to education.
Did you know that in Italy Gonzagarredi Montessori (GAM) is one of only four companies in the world to produce wooden Montessori educational materials under the supervision and approval of the International Montessori Association (AMI)? -
Why wood is the preferred material of the Montessori pedagogical method
Did you know that wood is a highly suitable material for stimulating children’s senses?
It is in fact a solid material that is warm to the touch: it is no coincidence that wood is often used in the Montessori method to create children’s games, but also beds and pedagogical tools.
A Tavar floor is perfectly suited for taking the first steps, according to Montessori prescriptions, in absolute safety and stimulating the development of tactile sensorial skills in contact with wood.
Thanks to the antibacterial varnish that we apply to our Tavar parquet floors made in Italy, the finish becomes a real sanitising barrier: we want your child to be able to get out of his or her Montessori cot and walk on the wood barefoot and protected!
