Botany Cards Box in a child's hands
A wooden box divided into twenty two compartments, one for each set in the second series of botany cards. Twenty two card sets stored loose become one pile within a month, and a pile is the end of the material, because nobody starts work they first have to sort. The compartments make putting away as quick as taking out, which is the only way a child ever does it unprompted. The cards themselves are a separate product. Beech with plywood dividers, for ages 3 to 12.
Order and Classification
The organized compartments support the child's natural tendency toward order while facilitating systematic exploration of botanical concepts.
Care of Materials
The quality construction encourages respectful handling and teaches children to value and maintain their learning materials.
Visual Discrimination
Clear organization allows children to easily locate and return specific botany cards, refining visual perception skills.
