Key Ring in a child's hands
A key ring with a small cube from the Pink Tower, a well-known Montessori sensorial material made of ten pink cubes of graded size. Nienhuis gives beech as the material of the cube, metal as the material of the ring, and pink and silver as the colours. The key ring comes from the Nienhuis Montessori range and is not a teaching material: it carries the cube on a bunch of keys. The size of the cube is not stated. It is meant for indoor use. Minimum age: 3 years.
