Montessori Sound Boxes

The Montessori sound boxes give children a focused way to develop their sense of hearing through careful listening and matching. Each set of six cylinders contains a different filling that produces a distinct sound when shaken. Children shake one cylinder from the red set, find its match in the blue set, and pair them together, working from loudest to quietest. The work is quiet, purposeful, and deeply satisfying for young children who are tuning their auditory senses.Key Features 2 boxes with 6 cylinders each, 12 cylinders total Red and blue sets for matching pairs by sound Solid wood with non-toxic water-based paint Set measures 7.9 x 5.5 x 4.3 in Educational BenefitsA classic Montessori sensorial material that sharpens auditory discrimination and builds the focused listening skills that support language and music development.
