Maria Montessori believed it was important to build a child's vocabulary so she created Nomenclature Cards that are used to familiarize the child with the world of nature by associating each element with its name. The 100 Nomenclature Cards dedicated to the animals in the woods are a fun way for children to explore and learn about nature.

The book is a collection of activity cards inspired by the Montessori Method. They present fun, practical experiences that children aged three and up can do at home, but they are more than just play materials for the children; they are also cues for parents as to how they can involve their children in home life and how to make their home more "Montessorian". Each activity takes place in one room of the house. Children can discover which utensils are used the most in the kitchen, how to set the table, the correct sequence for brushing their teeth, how to put their toys in order, how to organise their bedroom closets, how to make their own library in the living room or how to bring nature to the terrace.

The innovative teaching materials contained in this box have been designed and created following the principles of the Montessori method. They have been designed to be used by children on their own; no help is required from the adult who can simply observe their child as they enthusiastically discover the world. Thanks to the fun and enjoyable activities proposed, play becomes an educational moment for your children whose curiosity will inspire them to start building up experiences for the future. Learning to recognize, express and manage their own emotions and those of others is vital to a child's development. This box contains three different activities that work on children's emotional spheres: learning about the physical characteristics of facial expressions of the emotions of joy, anger, fear, sadness, surprise, disgust or shame; recognition of their emotional meaning, associating each expression with an emotional experience; identification of the methods that can be used to contain or manage said emotion. The contents also include a poster on which children can write out descriptions of their own emotions.
