The contents follow a progressive complexity to challenge the children to complete various tasks with great results all by themselves. My first book about Space. Using the Montessori concept of nesting elements where smaller elements are contained in progressively bigger ones, the child can see the logical sequence from the Earth to the Space Exploration.

Nature has an important role in Montessorian pedagogy. According to Maria Montessori, taking care of animals and plants is highly satisfying for the child: knowing that someone needs him/her and that his/her work gives rise to life is a great incentive for his/her sense of responsibility, but also for his/her emotional development, and ability to imagine and control the actions and emotions that are part of the world of childhood. The activities in this book are intended for children from 2 to 10 years, with the aim of recovering the natural bond between the child and the world of nature. They are subdivided into 4 areas, according to what Maria Montessori observed to be the most important aspects in the child's relationship with nature. The activities are designed partly for the home, but are always inspired, where possible, by experience in the open air, in the garden, in the vegetable garden, in the alley behind the home, or in the playground.

This book accompanies children aged five and up on the discovery of their own bodies with an overview of each body area and the most important internal organs, starting at the top with the head and continuing down to the feet. The cards are inspired by the Montessori Method and help the children to develop an awareness of their own bodies by helping them to learn the name, the position, the size and the function of each organ. Each child interacts with the book but also carries out exercises directly with his or her own body in order to learn to observe it and listen to it.

The proposed activities are inspired by the studies of Daniel Goleman on emotional development and concern child's reflection on the characteristics of emotions, on one's own and others' emotional states and on the association of physical characteristics to certain emotions. In the book the 6 basic emotions and the 2 social emotions are analysed. In this activity book the ability developed is Feeling: by training child's emotional ability, we can provide them with tools to face the most complex situations and the most difficult and important tasks, which could not be entrusted solely to the intellect.

To share is a process that involves complex cognitive and emotional skills. To be able to share, the child must be able to understand that objects exist and belong to him even when he does not see them and be able to put himself in the other's shoes. With the identification through illustrations, the child understands how to enjoy shared games, enhancing these moments and highlighting the fun in doing what they like best. We help the children to find solutions that can mediate their needs with those of others, without this necessarily implying a renunciation. In this way, we manage their ability to think about a solution strategy, and to respect the needs of the other.

The book is based on studies by Sylvie Droit-Volet about the perception of time in children, and the activities are proposed in everyday circumstances, such as preparing for going to school. In this interactive book with flaps, the ability developed is Exploring: orientation and spatial-temporal coordination are trained, curiosity is encouraged by giving the reader the tools to face increasingly complex situations and the most difficult and important tasks.

The story of this book, through its interactive flaps, was inspired by the studies of Paul Ekman, thanks to which we can recognize 6 fundamental activities: Recognizing the emotions, Feeling empathy, Trusting, Socializing, Pondering & Identifying. A short story in which the ability developed is Feeling: the protagonists are children aged around 4 years, of various ethnic groups and physical characteristics, which reflect on the different components that emotions have, thus becoming a useful tool for working on emotional education.

Following the Montessorian studies based on the observation of real nature, the box contains 40 cards for a total of 20 pairs of animals, divided between parents and puppies of the same species. The activities of the memory game allow to train executive functions of the child concurring in carrying out the tasks of everyday life: Memorising, Recognising, Classifying, Categorising, Associating, Sorting by logic. In this box, the ability developed is Thinking: through a simple game like memory, cognitive development is supported, from perception to attention to visual-spatial memory.

The idea behind the board book collection was to attract even the youngest readers (from as young as 2½ years old); to encourage them to discover subjects and areas that interest them (nature, animals, shapes, etc.) and to help them classify the things that surround them. The series is comprised of ten little books. Two are instructive, teaching shapes and numbers; five are exploratory and describe settings that are fun to discover (farm animals, wild animals, the backyard and its insects, the vegetable garden) and three are short stories about the experience of birth in nature (the birth of a little bird, of a butterfly and of a flower). Narration becomes the background for the text since touching and picture readings are the primary means of interpretation. A guiding character accompanies the child throughout each developing story until the end, where there is a summary of all the characters introduced in the book. Consistent with the Montessori approach, the child is encouraged to interact independently with his or her book. For example, in some cases, the child is asked to use a finger to trace the outline of a shape and notice its characteristics (round, sharp-edged, jagged, etc.). In others, he or she is asked to use a finger to follow a path in order to discover hidden characters and learn to associate them with their most distinctive features (the lion’s tail, the rabbit’s ears, the colours of vegetables, etc.).

The little Sloth is really curious about the noise and bustle he hears from the branch he hangs upon. One little step at a time, he will come down and discover how his friends in the forest live. Surprised by the mess, confusion and restlessness of the lives of chimps, tigers and toucans, he will teach them how to appreciate the virtues of calm and reflection, to learn, together with the little readers, his motto: "Take it... sloth!" Aimed at 4-6 year olds, this book includes activities to develop the consciousness of the different emotions and how to cope with impatience and waiting times, as well as learning to pacing it down. The moments of "boredom" will become occasions to develop creativity and free the children's fantasy, as well as learning how to fill the lull moments as long car trips or rainy afternoons.

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. This box holds an active nature experience for children. The materials are inspired by the animal kingdom, the insect world as well as that of plants. Through various types of games, children can get to know the "inhabitants" of the garden, learning to spot the tails, paws, antennae and wings of the largest animal to the smallest insect, and even become the perfect little gardener, recognizing plants by their leaves, flowers and fruits. They will also be encouraged to create their own little garden thanks to the cards on the life cycle of a plant which will teach them how plants are born and what they need to grow. They will also be able to build their own small trees to show off on their desks and change along with the seasons.

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.
