"This is sensorial at Northstar Montessori Preschool, this is the three to five classroom. We have the pink tower over here. And the knob cylinders, and the knobless cylinders. Brown. Here's red rods. All the same that you would have in pretty much any classroom. We do put out different activities. These are matching by color as well as they have to be able to visually see that there's two holes in that, it goes on this activity. Many of these activities are just found activities that we've created into educational activities. And again, we have the geometric solids. And in this classroom they actually have the bases with them as well. So, and we have the geometric cabinet. This is another made activity. It's just samples that we picked up at our local store, carpet samples, and we just made sure that we asked them at the desk if we could take some, and we got two of each one. So this is carpet matching."
