GAM Fabric Box, Complete Set

Through touch, the child pairs the fabrics according to varying textures. Feeling each swatch, often with eyes closed, the child finds its match, refining the sense of touch and learning to notice fine differences.

The set includes fabrics in cotton, wool, jute, silk, leather and synthetic material, held in a wooden box with two compartments. The range spans smooth to coarse, giving clear contrasts for a child to compare.

The child takes one swatch and feels its texture, then searches for the fabric that feels the same. Working by touch, often blindfolded, sharpens attention and separates the tactile sense from sight.

As montessori sensorial materials, paired fabrics isolate one sense clearly. Six contrasting textures, from silk to jute, give a child a wide but ordered set of touches to compare, name and remember.

The fabric box fits the sensorial period of a Montessori classroom, generally preschool and early primary children who can focus on feeling one swatch at a time and enjoy matching by texture.

Keep the swatches in their two-compartment box and handle them with clean, dry hands. Air them if needed, store away from damp and direct sun, and check pairs back together so the set stays complete.
