Play to Z Limited

"I was excited to discover Playscope...the lack of plastic and subtlety of colour and texture appealed to me so much! The benefits of these baskets are manifold, both from the Montessorian perspective and from the Piagetian point of view as they nurture children's learning during the sensori-motor stage."  Barbara Isaacs, Montessori International Chief Executive. Playscope Treasure Baskets are now the focus of Montessori International Treasure Basket training, Montessorians around the country are experiencing the wonders of Treasure Baskets and what they have to offer to the Montessori approach.

 

The Playscope range of Treasure Baskets perfectly fits with the Montessori approach with its emphasis upon quality play resources; the importance of sensory perception from birth to 5 years; the belief that 'learning occurs physically, mentally and sensorially' and that children's absorbent minds learn through 'active discovery' (Gettman 1987). For those wishing to extend the sensory benefits of Treasure Baskets to older children, sets of Activity Cards focussing on Mathematics, Language, Creativity etc. are available for practitioners to help facilitate children's exploration and manipulation of the objects.
