Wooden Montessori Christmas Tree Set — Math & Creative Arts Toy

A large Montessori-style Christmas tree set that pairs early math with hands-on art — eight different activities covering counting, drawing, painting, tracing, and sensory play for ages 3-8.

Material: Plywood + gouache paints · Tree size: 29 × 25 cm

Eight ways to use it:

1. Talk about the ornaments — look at each one and name its shape
2. Trace the outlines onto paper and colour them in
3. Paint using the coloured pencils, markers, or acrylics included in the kit
4. Work with clay — trace onto cardboard and fill the outline with clay beads
5. Make an original craft — cover cardboard in glue and semolina for a handmade keepsake
6. Build a garland — fold paper, trace, and cut out tree shapes
7. Make a greeting card — fold cardboard, trace and colour a small tree
8. Hang an ornament — trace onto patterned paper, cut it out, and hang it on a string while practicing slow, steady breathing

Builds: fine motor control, creativity, mathematical vocabulary, sensory play, breath regulation, pattern recognition

Used in occupational therapy, art therapy, and sensory integration work. The hanging-ornament activity is a favorite among respiratory physiotherapists and speech-language therapists for practicing breath control with young children.
