Montessori educational "work" material! This is a set of 6 pieces of cloth for the "folding cloth" work. Each cloth has different stitching, and you fold it along the seams. It's also good practice for folding! This is a favorite activity for young children (*^^*) When you fold these six cloths along the stitching lines, they will look like the image in the second picture. The fold lines are easy to see, using red thread to attract the child's attention. On the other hand, the thread used to sew the edges is the same color as the fabric so it is not noticeable. 【 How to use this product 】 ◆ Purpose of the work • Develops hand-eye coordination (accurately moving hands based on what is seen) • Develops concentration through the repetition of "folding → unfolding → folding" • Repetition of folding and other actions leads to the basics of "writing and dressing" later on. ◆ Target age • Around 2.5 to 4 years old ◆ How to play 1. Prepare a space where the child can sit calmly 2. Spread out the cloth and show the child how to "fold along the lines" slowly, only once 3. Let the child fold it themselves 4. Try encouraging them by saying, "Shall we try it again?" (Don't force them at this time!) ⸻ ⸻ ⸻ ⸻ ⸻ ⸻ Examples of what to say • "Where are the lines?" • "Let's match the corners" • "You folded it well! It's perfect!" ⸻ ⸻ ⸻ ⸻ ⸻ ⸻ ◆ Tips for using • Recommended during times when they can concentrate quietly (e.g., in the morning) ⭐︎ • Let them get into the habit of folding it up themselves and putting it back in the storage bag when they're done • Washable and ironable Montessori is based on "no unnecessary decoration," so we have adopted unisex colored cloths that can be used by both boys and girls ◎ I tried to sew carefully, but this was made by an amateur, so please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for perfection. ・Size: Approximately 20cm x 20cm ・Pre-washed Montessori work cloth folding educational handmade teaching material preparation for entering school gift washable Montessori folding cloth handmade educational materials home Montessori toys first work
