The result is a colorful building set with 61 building blocks in free form. The four temperaments are: The Predominant Temperament determines the specific mood in which someone usually finds themself. It influences how we feel and experience life, how we think, act or react. The Melancholic Temperament has a compassionate and rather sad nature. It is BLUE, turning inward into the depths, with edges, curves and endurance - like its element, the Earth. The Choleric Temperament has an active and fiery nature.It is RED, jagged and sometimes sharp-edged. Its impulsiveness belongs to the element of Fire. The Phlegmatic Temperament is steady and content. It is GREEN and still like the surface of a pond. Its curves and soft shapes correspond to itselement, Water. The Sanguine Temperament radiates cheerfulness and optimism. It is YELLOW and shines from within, losing itself in the periphery or in the sky. Air is its element. Through a playful approach to the characteristic features of the temperaments an understanding that every person is a unique blend of all Four Temperaments can be achieved.

The Steiner inspired math learning wheel is perfect for introducing children to numbers and math. Designed for children to learn and practice their times tables while creating beautiful patterns at the same time. If you are learning the tables with this tool when passing zero “0” at the top, the numbers carry a unit of ten afterwards. So for example counting in threes: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30 - starting with 3, 6, 9 then imagine a unit of ten in front of the next round so for 12 you would use the 2 space, 15 would be 5, 18 would be 8 – the same then for the next round except imagine a unit of 20, so 21 uses the space 1, 24 used the space 4 and so on. The pattern usually becomes evident. The Steiner math wheel is not only for older children who are learning multiplication but younger children can use the wheel to make patterns and become familiar with numbers. This will allow them to build up their fine motor skills and dexterity. Included is a learning wheel (25 x 25 x 5.5 cm), cord and activity cards. Recommended from 3 yrs+
