Wooden Cup in a child's hands
A single wooden cup in gold, sold on its own. Gold sits outside the green, blue and red hierarchy code: in the golden bead material every bead is the same colour, and quantity is carried by shape instead, a bead, a bar of ten, a square of a hundred, a cube of a thousand. That is the point of the material, so a gold cup belongs with the unit beads and with the tray that holds two of them. The tray with two unit cups is a separate item.
Fine Motor Control
The cup's size and weight support precise hand movements essential for pouring and transferring activities.
Concentration Development
The attractive gold finish naturally draws children's attention, supporting focused work periods.
Practical Life Skills
Versatile design enables multiple activities from water pouring to sorting small objects.
Order and Beauty
The elegant appearance teaches children to appreciate and care for beautiful materials in their environment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What activities can children do with this golden wooden cup?
This cup is ideal for pouring exercises with water or dry materials like rice or beans, sorting activities, transferring exercises, and ceremonial presentations in the Montessori environment. It can also be used for counting, pattern-making, and as a container for small objects during practical life activities.
Is the gold finish safe for children and will it chip or wear off?
The metallic gold finish is applied using child-safe materials and sealed to the wooden surface. With normal use, the finish is durable and resistant to chipping. However, like all wooden materials, it should be kept dry and cleaned with a damp cloth to maintain its appearance.
What is the exact size and capacity of this wooden cup?
The cup measures 8cm in diameter, making it perfectly sized for children aged 3-6 years. This size allows comfortable handling by small hands while providing adequate capacity for various pouring and transferring exercises without being too heavy when filled.
How does this cup support Montessori learning principles?
This cup promotes practical life skills, hand-eye coordination, and concentration. The attractive gold finish naturally draws children's attention, encouraging repeated practice. It supports the development of fine motor control, careful movements, and the understanding of volume and quantity through hands-on exploration.
Can this cup be used with liquids or should it only be used with dry materials?
While the cup can be used for water pouring exercises under supervision, it's primarily designed for dry materials to preserve the wooden construction and gold finish. If used with liquids, ensure it's dried thoroughly afterward. For frequent water activities, consider pairing it with a water-safe tray.
