Blindfolds in a child's hands
This set of four blindfolds holds one red, one orange, one green and one blue blindfold. Each has an opening for the nose and a Velcro fastener, so the child can put it on without help. According to Nienhuis the material is polyester, and the set is meant for indoor use. With a blindfold on, the child works by touch or hearing alone, for example when comparing surfaces by feel or listening to sounds. Packed, the set measures 18 × 18 × 2 cm. For ages 3 to 6.

Frequently Asked Questions
What activities can children do with these blindfolds?
These blindfolds are perfect for stereognostic exercises (identifying objects by touch), mystery bag activities, sound discrimination games, smell identification exercises, and taste testing activities. They help children focus on specific senses by temporarily removing visual input.
Are the blindfolds comfortable for young children to wear?
Yes, the blindfolds are made of fabric with a nose opening and a Velcro™ fastener, so a child can put them on without assistance. The gentle material ensures children can wear them without discomfort during sensory activities.
How do blindfolds support Montessori learning principles?
Blindfolds enable sensory isolation, a key Montessori technique that helps children develop concentration and refine specific senses. By removing visual distractions, children can focus intensely on tactile, auditory, or olfactory information, building stronger sensory discrimination skills.
Can these blindfolds be washed?
Yes, the fabric blindfolds can be gently hand-washed with mild soap and water. Allow them to air dry completely before the next use to maintain hygiene, especially when used by multiple children.
Why does the set include four blindfolds?
Having four blindfolds allows multiple children to participate in sensory activities simultaneously, supports group lessons, and provides extras for washing rotation. This is ideal for classroom settings or families with multiple children.
