Montessori Sensorial Variations & Extensions for Knobbed Cylinders & Color Tablets

I recently wrote about Montessori sensorial extensions and variations for the Knobbed Cylinders, the Pink Tower, the Broad Stair and the Red Rods. In this post, I further explore Montessori Sensorial extensions and variations by reviewing ideas for the Knobless Cylinders and Color Tablets.

Sensorial Variations & Extensions

Knobless Cylinders

• Construct Towers in each corner of the mat
• Arrange yellow cylinders, green cylinders and then the red cylinders on top of one another
• Create a spiral
• Extension Cards from Montessori Services or Pattern Cards from Montessori Printshop
• Combine with Knobbed Cylinders and have child find the corresponding place for each knobless cylinder within the Blocks

Color Tablets

• Play fetch with objects in the environment
• Create artwork with the colors used within the boxes
• Identify and sort objects that match the color of the tablets from the classroom or better yet from outside
• Color Wheel
• Teach color names in other languages
• Clothespin matching
• Color grading with paint samples
• Color print outs to match the tablets
• Match tablets to fabric
• Use construction paper to have child cut or pin poke color tablets
• Make a spiral of colors

Besides the standard Montessori product companies, to purchase these Montessori materials at a reasonable price from Amazon:

• Montessori Knobless Cylinders
• Montessori Color Tablets

Take a look at my Montessori Sensorial Pinterest Board for more ideas and lessons.

Take care,
Marnie
