Grapat Rhythm of Life Montessori Year Chain

This Grapat toy set includes 375 balls, one 8 metre cotton cord, 4 ribbons to represent the four seasons, 13 bowls to organise the balls and a cotton storage bag.

The Rhythm of Life Montessori year chain is a beautiful set which uses beads to represent each day of the year helping young children comprehend the passing of time.  The colourful wooden beads are threaded onto a cord, there are ribbons for the seasons and bowls to organise them all. Each bead represents a day of the year, each colour represents a month and the four seasons are also represented in in the coloured ribbons. There are different colours that can be used for special and memorable dates. This set provides a tangible prop for your children or classroom to help them understand the concept of time, days turning into weeks, weeks turning into months, and years. Children will enjoy seeing the chain grow, and the colours change as the days go by and seasons change. This is a classic Montessori toy by Grapat which also makes a handy maths tool too.
