Elementary Geometrical Solids – 19 Shapes

The Elementary Geometrical Solids set is a foundational Montessori material designed to help children explore the fundamental shapes that form the basis of all geometry. This set contains 19 beautifully crafted wooden solids, all painted in the signature Montessori blue, allowing children to focus purely on form without distraction.

The solids include prisms, cylinders, pyramids, cones, spheres, and other essential geometric forms. Through hands-on exploration, children learn to identify, compare, and classify shapes, building a strong visual and tactile understanding of geometric properties. This material lays the groundwork for advanced geometry concepts such as faces, edges, vertices, and the relationship between 2D and 3D shapes—making it an integral part of the Montessori Elementary math curriculum.
