A set of ten pink cubes, the smallest with an edge of 1 cm and the largest with an edge of 10 cm.
Example of a practical exercise:
Tell the child that you are going to build the Pink Tower
Go with the child to fetch a mat and unroll it as far as possible from the tower
Show the child how to hold the cube: first grasp it from the top using three fingers – thumb, index and middle – for the smaller cubes, and using all the fingers for the larger ones; if the child struggles, they can place a hand underneath the cube
Place all the cubes of the Pink Tower one by one on the mat and sit down with the child in front of the mat
Build the Pink Tower by taking the largest cube, each time choosing the largest remaining cube,
Centre the cubes one on top of the other
Once the last cube is placed, stand up with the child and walk around the tower, looking down on it from directly above
Sit down again with the child and take the Pink Tower apart by removing the cubes one by one, always grasping them in the same way
Arrange the cubes in a random order on the mat and invite the child to build the Pink Tower
Once finished, invite them to stand up and admire it
To put it away, place the cubes back on the mat and rebuild the Pink Tower in its place in the classroom
