Paper For Re-Covering Squares And Cubes (100) in a child's hands
One hundred sheets of the printed paper used to re-cover the squares and cubes of the golden bead material. Those squares and cubes are wooden blocks wrapped in printed paper, and the paper is what wears: corners rub through first, then a face lifts, and a hundred square with a torn corner starts being avoided. Re-covering restores the block instead of replacing it, which on this material is the difference of an order of magnitude in cost. The bead material is a separate item.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size are these replacement circles and which materials are they designed for?
These pre-cut brown circles are specifically sized to fit standard Montessori wooden squares and cubes used in sensorial activities. The 100 circles come in a precise grid pattern matching the dimensions of traditional geometric solids materials.
Are these circles self-adhesive or do they require glue?
These circles feature adhesive backing, making them easy for children to apply independently without additional glue. Simply peel off the backing and press firmly onto the wooden surface for secure attachment.
How many geometric solids can be re-covered with 100 circles?
The quantity depends on the size of your solids. A standard cube requires 6 circles (one per face), while the number varies for other shapes. This pack typically covers multiple pieces or provides replacements for ongoing classroom use.
Can children ages 3-6 apply these circles independently?
Yes, the adhesive-backed design and pre-cut format make these circles perfect for children to use independently as a practical life activity. This supports their development of fine motor skills, concentration, and care of the environment.
Will these circles match the original brown paper on Montessori geometric solids?
These replacement circles are designed to match the traditional brown paper used on authentic Montessori geometric solids, maintaining visual consistency in your sensorial materials and supporting the child's visual discrimination work.
