Attributes of Montessori Art

The attributes of Montessori art can be expressed with these words: - **Sensorial / Sensory** — the child engages with colour, texture, smell. - **Unique** — the work is the child's own, never a copy of a template. - **Intriguing** — materials invite curiosity and exploration. - **Patient** — there is no rush, and the child sets the pace. - **Creativity / Creative** — the process is open-ended. - **Time** — the child is given as much time as the work requires. - **Flexibility** — the materials can be used in many different ways. Notice what is **not** on this list: "neat", "fast", "result-centred", or "teacher-led". Montessori art is about exploration.
