Wooden Cup in a child's hands
A single wooden cup in white and green, sold on its own. White marks the simple family in the racks and tubes, the units, tens and hundreds a child works with first, and the green inside it means units. It is therefore the cup a child meets at the very beginning, since division work starts in the simple family and only later climbs into thousands and millions. The Long Division material, four boards with seven racks of tubes, seven cups and thirty six skittles, is a separate item.
Fine Motor Skills
The bowl's size and shape support precise hand movements during pouring and transferring activities.
Visual Discrimination
Contrasting colors help children identify and distinguish objects during sorting exercises.
Concentration
Practical life activities with this bowl build focus and attention to detail.
Independence
Child-sized design enables autonomous work in food preparation and serving activities.
How to present it
Place the wooden cup on a tray with a small pitcher of water (filled one-third) and a sponge. Position at child's eye level on a low shelf.
- 1Demonstrate holding the cup with both hands, noting how fingers wrap around the white exterior
- 2Pour water from pitcher into the cup, stopping when water reaches halfway up the green interior
- 3Carefully pour water back into the pitcher, tilting slowly
- 4Use the sponge to dry any drops on the white rim or green interior
3 tips for parents

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the dimensions and capacity of this wooden cup?
The cup is sized appropriately for children ages 3-6, with a comfortable grip and capacity suitable for practical life activities like pouring exercises. The exact dimensions are designed to fit small hands while holding enough material for meaningful transfer work.
Is the paint/finish safe for children and food use?
Yes, the white exterior and green interior finishes are made with child-safe, non-toxic materials that meet educational toy safety standards. While safe for dry materials and practical life activities, we recommend using it primarily for educational purposes rather than regular food service.
How does this cup support Montessori learning objectives?
This cup enhances multiple developmental areas: the contrasting colors aid visual discrimination, the smooth wooden texture provides sensory feedback, and its use in pouring/transferring activities builds concentration, hand-eye coordination, and fine motor control essential for later writing skills.
What activities can children do with this wooden cup?
Children can use it for pouring water or dry materials, sorting small objects by color, transferring activities with beans or rice, counting exercises, and as part of practical life stations for serving snacks or organizing materials on work trays.
How should I clean and maintain this wooden cup?
Wipe clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed, then dry thoroughly. Avoid soaking in water or using harsh chemicals. Periodically treat with food-safe wood conditioner to maintain the finish. Store in a dry area to prevent warping.
