Wooden Cup in a child's hands
A single wooden cup in red, sold on its own. Red is the hundreds in the Montessori decimal code and it is the colour that closes a family: after red the next bead is worth a thousand and the whole pattern begins again one level up. Check the cup against the one you are replacing, because the division material uses plain cups and two tone cups together and only the colour separates them. The Long Division material itself is a separate item.
Fine Motor Control
Transferring materials in and out of the bowl refines hand movements and strengthens pincer grasp essential for writing preparation.
Concentration Development
The focused attention required for pouring and spooning activities builds sustained concentration and mindful movement patterns.
Order and Sequence
Using the bowl in practical life exercises teaches children logical sequences and develops their sense of order through repetitive practice.
How to present it
Place the red wooden cup on the right side of a tray with dried beans or rice in a matching container on the left. Include a small spoon between them.

Frequently Asked Questions
What activities can children do with this wooden cup?
Children can use this cup for transferring exercises (dry materials like beans or rice), pouring activities with water, sorting small objects, spooning practice, and food preparation activities. It's also excellent for sensory exploration of weight and texture.
Is the red finish safe for children and food use?
Yes, the polished red finish is made with child-safe, non-toxic materials. However, we recommend using it primarily for dry transferring activities and educational purposes rather than regular food service.
What size is this wooden cup and why does it have a footed base?
The cup features a generous size suitable for small hands to grasp comfortably. The footed base provides extra stability during pouring and transferring activities, helping prevent spills while children develop their fine motor control.
How do I clean and maintain this wooden cup?
Wipe clean with a damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid soaking in water or putting in the dishwasher. Occasionally apply food-safe wood oil to maintain the finish and prevent cracking.
What age group is this cup most appropriate for?
This cup is designed for children ages 3-6 years, aligning with the primary Montessori age group. The size and weight are perfectly suited for developing hand strength and coordination during this critical developmental period.
