The innovative teaching materials contained in this box have been designed and created following the principles of the Montessori method. They have been designed to be used by children on their own; no help is required from the adult who can simply observe their child as they enthusiastically discover the world. Thanks to the fun and enjoyable activities proposed, play becomes an educational moment for your children whose curiosity will inspire them to start building up experiences for the future. Maria Montessori believed that babies had innate abilities and that it was up to adults to offer suitable stimulus to develop them. This box, for babies from 0 to 12 months, contains some entertaining cards with shapes and patterns in black and white as well as coloured cards showing interesting animal faces to stimulate the attention and visual perception of new-borns, and to be used as a first puzzle for babies from 10 months on. Parents themselves may enjoy making up a memory book with photos of their babies' funniest and most interesting expressions, using the poster included in the box.

This bus-shaped, lift-the-flap board book introduces five key concepts: the alphabet, numbers, colours, shapes, and opposites, making it ideal for preparing young children for school. Each double-page spread introduces a different concept, and has cute and colourful illustrations of animal characters in a preschool setting. The rhyming, alliterative text encourages children to lift the flaps, and what they reveal is part of the learning experience. This is active learning at its most fun, and this book will not only prepare preschool kids for school, but it will reassure them that school is a happy and interesting place to be.

The Flixies are introduced to a new concept, biodiversity – the wide variety of all forms of life. Why must there be so many species? Are all these form of life necessary? Would Spaceship Earth not have worked not as well with only a few types of super-animals and super-plants on Earth?

Dux explains to Blox that there are one hundred million different types of plants and animals to which people have already given names – and that there are still places on Earth where there are most probably types of life which must still be discovered and described! Facto simply cannot wait to hear more…

Facto hears from the Flixies about a narrow strip of land near the coast of the Western and Southern Cape, where the most remarkable biome in the whole world can be found. It’s a biome that is so special and unique that it is considered one of the seven Plant Kingdoms of the world. Grandma Flox prepared special rainbow sosaties for the Flixies to nibble on while they listen to the wonderful story of the Cape Fynbos garden.

This gentle introduction to how our lives are organized according to time makes a perfect starting point for introducing this core concept. Times of the day, times of the year, and the passing of time are all explored. This title follows a young boy as he meets people at different significant stages of their lives. Little ones will love reading his story and sharing their own routines and experiences.
