Grimm's Circular Disc for The Annual Ring, Multicolor

Product Description Circular Disc for The Annual Ring. Comes with 35 colored wooden MARBLES and a natural finished wooden disc . The Annual Ring (03000, Sold Separately) is placed centrally on the Circular Disc to create a one year calendar. For each day a marble will be placed on the ring, starting at the current month. At the end of the month you clear the ring and space is made for the new month. In keeping with Maria Montessori’s philosophy, the Annual Ring symbolizes the sun around which the Earth rotates once a year. On birthdays, you can make this comprehensible for a child as he can see his accumulated year of life as he goes around the annual cycle once for each year. With each round, a burning tea light candle is placed on his birth month for each year of the child´s life. Children can then trace the course of the earth around the sun and its role in the cosmos, their relationship to the earth, and to the environment. They can identify the structures of the annual progress and set their own guidelines in this structure. The Annual Ring is part of Maria Montessori's Theory of ”Cosmic Education.” Grimm's products are made with alder, lime, beech and maple wood from sustainably managed forests. All colors and oils used are certified in accordance with the EN 71 and CPSIA/ASTM 963 standards. They are completely harmless. Natural wood is finished with a mix of oils. They are completely harmless. The stronger smell is typical for natural linseed oil, which is completely harmless and it will decrease over time. For care simply use cold soapy water with a damp cloth for cleaning. Dry immediately. Please do not submerge in water and do not use disinfectant or hot water.
