Questions
What age is it for? From 3 years, growing with your child to confident readers of about 7–8 who use the description cards.
Why teach breed names instead of just "dog"? Children love precise words. Each new name sharpens how they observe, compare and describe the world around them.
Will it survive a classroom? Yes. Every card is matt-laminated on both sides.
Can I get it in another language? Yes, at no extra cost. Email eva@montessorihut.com.
Do you offer school discounts? Yes. Get in touch for bulk prices: eva@montessorihut.com
