The Pink Tower is part of the Sensorial area of the Montessori classroom. This area of the classroom helps to develop the child's senses. The Pink Tower is an early Sensorial exercise. The main purpose of this material is to help develop the child's visual discrimination of differences in three dimensions. It also helps in the development of fine muscular coordination.

| N. is building The Pink Tower |
This material consists of ten pink wooden cubes varying in size and differing equally in all dimensions by one centimetre. The child is asked to bring The Pink Tower to a mat. Each cube is taken individually and placed randomly on a mat. The teacher then begins to build the tower vertically beginning with the largest cube. Once the tower has been built, the child and teacher examine the tower from all sides. The tower is dismantled cube by cube. The child is then offered a turn.
