Grammar Symbol Paper: Interjection (100)
Made by Nienhuis Montessori · shipped by Heutink International (Netherlands) About the maker
Grammar Symbol Paper: Interjection (100) is a pack of 100 paper and cardstock symbols marking the interjection, the word that expresses sudden feeling or emotion, within the Montessori grammar symbols system. Placed above a word such as an exclamation in sentence analysis, it shows the child that this word stands apart from the rest of the sentence, carrying emotion rather than describing or naming. Sold as a replenishment pack, the symbols are AMI certified and made for children aged 3 to 6, continuing the grammar symbols work already underway.
“Education is a natural process spontaneously carried out by the human individual, and is acquired not by listening to words but by experiences upon the environment.”
The interjection symbols' distinctive exclamation point shape in olive green creates a visual anchor for understanding emotional expressions in language.
- Identifies interjections as words expressing emotion or sudden feeling
- Places olive green symbols correctly above interjection words in sentences
- Distinguishes interjections from other parts of speech through color association
- Analyzes sentence structure by physically manipulating grammar symbols

Each paper symbol transforms the abstract concept of interjections into a tangible object that children can hold, move, and place within sentences. The olive green color distinguishes interjections from other parts of speech, helping children recognize when words express sudden feelings rather than describe actions or name objects. Through manipulating these precision-cut symbols during sentence analysis, children discover how interjections function independently within language structure. The paper symbols enable repeated practice with grammar box exercises, where children physically construct sentences and identify where emotional expressions naturally occur. This concrete representation of interjections allows young learners to internalize grammatical patterns through sensorial experience before abstract understanding develops.
