Wooden Cup in a child's hands
A single wooden cup in blue, sold on its own. Blue is the tens, the middle rung of the Montessori decimal code, and it means the same thing wherever it turns up: ten of the colour below it. That is why blue appears exactly once in each family and why it is the colour a child leans on when a quantity has to be exchanged. Check the cup against the one you are replacing, since plain and two tone cups sit side by side in the material. The Long Division material is a separate item.
Fine Motor Development
Grasping, carrying, and pouring from the bowl strengthens hand muscles and refines coordination essential for writing preparation.
Practical Life Skills
Using real materials like this wooden bowl connects children to authentic experiences while building independence in daily tasks.
Concentration Building
The appealing blue color and smooth texture engage the senses, helping children focus during transferring and sorting activities.

- 1Demonstrate carrying the tray with both hands to a table, moving slowly and deliberately
- 2Show how to hold the pitcher handle with dominant hand while steadying the cup with the other
- 3Pour water slowly from pitcher to cup, stopping when three-quarters full
