Baric Tablets in Montessori Education

Baric Tablets  is a Montessori Sensorial Material, meant to isolate one particular sense to further its development. Here, the tactile sense of touch is being stimulated. Baric Tablets come in a wooden box with three compartments each containing seven wooden tablets, finished with non-toxic paint. The Baric Tablets introduce and refine the concept of the baric sense. While blindfolded, the child endeavors to discern the weight of the tablets. Error is controlled by the color of the wooden tablets, the lightest color being the lightest weight to darkest color being the heaviest weight.
