Product Description
Roman Arch Kita Set
The Roman Arch is a fascinating Montessori material from the field of sensory and cosmic education. It consists of nine precisely shaped wooden blocks that together form a stable arch. The crucial part is the middle block – the so-called keystone. Only with it does the arch gain its stability.
Children build the arch step-by-step and experience directly how all parts work together. If the keystone is removed, the arch collapses. This very experience makes the material so effective: children understand through their own actions that stability does not occur randomly but depends on specific constructive principles.
Working with the Roman Arch promotes:
In the spirit of Montessori pedagogy, this material isolates a central difficulty and allows the child to fully concentrate on the underlying principle – without distraction.
