Purpose of Montessori Pink Tower
Pink Tower is used to develop hand and eye coordination as well as discriminating
difference in dimensions.
How to Bring ‘Pink Tower to Mat
There is a specific way to carry Pink Tower to a mat. Firstly, a child unrolls a mat. .A
facilitator will bring a child to Pink Tower stand and tell him: This is a “Pink Tower”.
She will show how to carry a top cub( smallest cube to the biggest cube) by gripping
from above the top edge using right thumb and index finger. A child will carry one cube
at a time. Once a child picks up a cube he will place it on left hand flat under the cube
and carry the cube at the waist level.

2. How to Build “Pink Tower’
Once a child brings all pieces of Pink tower to a mat then facilitator will show how to
build a pink tower. While giving presentation keep one thing in mind that firstly you
speak and then act. In this way child will pay his full attention on demonstration not on
listening instruction.
Firstly she will choose a biggest cube with child’s participation and place it aside. Then
she will choose another biggest one with child consent and place it on the fist cube. Then
next biggest, and next biggest and she will complete the tower. One more important point
which should be kept in mind while presentation is that facilitator should hold cube
slowly and move it towards tower slowly so that a child should observe the whole
process properly and easily.
Next Steps after Building Pink Tower
When you built a pink tower ask your child to stand up and join feet. Look at the pink
tower from above and from each of the four sides. Point out to the child that how
perfectly in the middle each cube is in one of another.

3. How to Dismantle “Pink Tower’
Facilitator will sit quietly and start putting smallest cube on the mat first and then all
pieces quietly and slowly. She will place all cubes on distances so that all cubes should
be placed easily and child could see difference in sizes. Now child will build a pink
tower.
Control of error
Pink tower is designed in such a way that a child can identify his own mistake. All cubes
are in different sizes so “Tower” would not be build correctly until a child place all cubes
according to its sizes. That why facilitator asks a child to stand and look at all four sides
of tower so that a child could know how perfectly all cubes are placed in middle of each
cube
Different Patterns of “Pink Tower”
Children can make different patterns and designs with pink cubes. Facilitator can give
flashcards of pink cubes and a child will observe the size and place pink wooden cube
according on flashcard.
Pink Tower with Broad Stairs
Wooden 10 pink cubes of pink tower is used with brown broad stairs. Children make
different designs disseminating its sizes.

4. Iram
I am a Montessori Teacher. I have been teaching early year kids for last 10 years. I give
value to innate potential of each child. I facilitate young children's learning and thinking
through Montessori approach that encourages child's initiated learning. I believe in
educating the whole personality of a child, encouraging them to explore their interests in
different ways and promoting curiosity of mind, freedom of spirit and passion of
learning. To achieve this my different pedagogical styles provide opportunities which
enable children to discover knowledge and build on their individual strengths.
