Massing
The design exemplifies the montessori ethic in its educational nature, multi-sensory stimulation, self correction, and facilitation of open ended exploration. It tells a story by cycling through different shapes that are representative of the sun, plants, animal, and man. The cyclical nature of the material illustrates how those four elements continuously consume eachother.The material also teaches fine motor skills, basic & sophisticated geometry, and also encourages exploration through its modular design.
