Activity Cards Box in a child's hands
The medium A6 card box, 12,6 x 9,2 x 4,2/6,7 cm. Depth is what separates the three A6 boxes, and this is the middle one: deeper than the small box by three and a half centimetres, which in cards is the difference between one short set and a set with its control cards behind it. The two heights at the end are the box, cut lower at the front so the top card can be read where it stands. Beech. Cards are not included and the other sizes are separate items.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size cards does this box hold?
This box is specifically designed for A6-sized activity cards (105 x 148 mm). It can comfortably hold approximately 50-70 cards depending on card thickness.
Why is this categorized as Sensorial when it can hold different types of cards?
While this versatile box can store various card types, it's categorized as Sensorial because the act of organizing, accessing, and caring for materials is a fundamental sensorial experience that develops order, coordination, and refinement of movement.
What makes the open-top design beneficial for children?
The open-top design allows children to see the cards immediately, encouraging independent choice and access. It eliminates barriers to learning and supports the Montessori principle of accessibility, while the visible cards serve as a visual invitation to work.
How does this storage solution support the prepared environment?
This box maintains the beauty and order essential to the Montessori environment. Its natural beech wood construction appeals to children's aesthetic sense, while the precise organization of materials helps children develop internal order and respect for their learning materials.
Can multiple boxes be used together for different subjects?
Yes, many classrooms use several boxes to organize cards by subject area or difficulty level. The uniform size and beautiful craftsmanship create a cohesive, organized appearance on shelves while allowing children to easily identify and select their desired activity.
