Three Elements Activity – Air, Water & Earth

The Three Elements – Air, Water & Earth Montessori set introduces children to the foundational natural elements through clear visual and sensorial experiences. This material includes 6 picture cards for each element—air, water, and earth—allowing children to classify, compare, and understand how these elements appear in the world around them.

To deepen the learning experience, the set also includes three demonstration bottles, each representing one of the elements, along with a sturdy display tray. Children observe air movement, water flow, and solid earth properties concretely, making abstract scientific concepts easier to grasp.

This material is ideal for early sensorial exploration, environmental awareness lessons, and Montessori cultural studies.
