Montessori in Practice - A Series

Children do not seem to be interested in just tracing the touch boards repeatedly when presented. They do it just once or twice and then stop. What shall we do?

The tactile material should be presented at the earliest opportunity after the child is admitted to the House of Children. We have to take advantage of the sensitive period for touch which may disappear soon. When presented during that period the children will do it with avid interest.
