Roman arch, complete set, 40 pieces

Discover the fascination of historical architecture with our "Roman Arch" set, part of the Montessori Premium collection. This set offers a unique opportunity to understand and rebuild the ancient architecture and principles of Roman arches.

The set consists of a sturdy base plate with a pre-formed construction and 36 loose blocks, including the crucial keystone, which reveals the secret of the arch construction. When this central stone is removed, the arch collapses, visually and practically demonstrating the importance of this key component. This illustrates in an interactive way how bridges and other structures were constructed more than 2000 years ago.

With dimensions of approximately 25 x 10 x 22.2 cm, this model provides ample size for a detailed and manageable building experience. The set also includes a handy building aid, consisting of three parts, to simplify the building process and minimize the chance of loose stones falling. This aid is ideal for use on a work mat or table, making it an ideal learning experience for children in various educational environments, such as childcare, primary education, and special education.

The "Roman Arch" is more than just a building set. It is an educational tool that gives teachers and guides the opportunity to discuss historical building techniques, including cross arches, domes, and vaults. The interactive nature of this set not only stimulates fine motor skills and spatial insight but also provides a rich basis for discussions about history and technology.

All parts of this set are manufactured according to the highest standards of Montessori Premium and are FSC-certified if made of wood, which underscores our commitment to sustainability and quality.
