Thermic Tablets
Price
The Thermic Tablets are a sensorial Montessori material designed to refine a child’s sense of touch and temperature, supporting child development in sensory perception and concentration. Found in many Montessori schools, this material consists of a set of tablets made from different materials, such as wood, metal, marble, cork, and felt, each varying in its thermal conductivity.
The Montessori directress presents the Thermic tablets, demonstrates how to handle the Thermic Tablets, inviting the child to close their eyes or use a blindfold to enhance their tactile sensitivity. The child then explores the tablets, matching them by temperature or identifying the materials through touch.
This activity aligns with the Montessori philosophy, encouraging hands-on exploration, independence, and the development of sensory awareness. The Thermic Tablets prepare children for future scientific concepts by helping them observe and understand the properties of materials in their environment.
