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

I’m an educator, and I LOVE how you teach the Montessori education effortlessly.
My experience with the Montessori education was on the job, and I’ve never looked back ever since. I’ll like you to be my mentor, i’ll gladly submit myself to learning more from you.
I look forward to a favourable response from you.
Yours faithfully
Chichi.
Thank you for that compliment. Montessori doesn’t have to be complicated!
