The Pink Tower

Watching the pink tower being built for the first time of the year is simply magical. The care, the patience, the love, the attention…there is just something about the pink tower. What is it?

The Director of Primary Training at the Montessori Institute Northwest, Ginna Sackett, explains just what makes the pink tower so unique. It is, by no small measure, a Montessori treasure.

The Pink Tower is, by far and away, the most easily identifiable and recognized Montessori material in the prepared environment. Virtually every child that enters a Montessori classroom is seduced by its opulence and depth. Has your child experienced the layers of the pink tower?
