The Pink Tower Lesson

The Pink Tower is the most recognized Montessori work, and for good reason. Working with the pink tower is one of the first experiences students in the Children’s House program will have. The Pink Tower seems like just a stack of cubes, but as Ms. Renee explains, it is so much more than that. There is genius in this work. 

Have you ever wondered why the Pink Tower is, well, pink? It’s not a random choice. Dr. Montessori personally designed this learning material, tested different colors, and found children couldn’t resist the allure of pink! 

“A child who has become master of his acts through long and repeated exercises, and who has been encouraged by the pleasant and interesting activities in which he has been engaged, is a child filled with health and joy and remarkable for his calmness and discipline.”- Dr. Maria Montessori, The Discovery of the Child
