Activity Cards Storage Box A5 in a child's hands
The shallowest of the A5 card boxes, 18,8 x 6,6 x 7,5/9,3 cm. That second pair of numbers is the box itself: the front wall is lower than the back, so the top card can be read and lifted out without tipping the whole stack forward. Small here means depth rather than footprint, so this one suits a single short set of cards rather than a term's worth of them. The medium A5 box, 8,8 cm deep, is a separate item, and so are the cards.
Order and Organization
Supports the child's sensitive period for order by providing a designated place for activity cards.
Practical Life Skills
Develops care of environment through proper material storage and handling.
Independence
Open-top design allows children to independently access and return materials.
How to present it
Place the box on a low shelf at child's eye level. Organize activity cards by sensorial area (visual, tactile, auditory, etc.) with clear dividers. Ensure cards are oriented consistently with images facing forward.
