Nienhuis 90 - Globe - English

Celebrate our 90th with us!

In 1929, after a period of more than 10 years during which Maria Montessori and Albert Nienhuis worked closely together on the first Montessori materials, Nienhuis Montessori was officially founded. This year we celebrate 90 years of passion for material design, manufacturing and revision.

More than 90 years of experience.

We could not have done this without our loyal Montessori community. This series of 4 booklets serves as a token of appreciation of your trust in our passion. Keep an eye on our website to benefit from our Nienhuis90 campaign.

The Original Montessori Craft.

Maria Montessori created her materials with a great eye for detail. In the last 90 years we have built up a perfect understanding of her ideas.

Maria Montessori “The globe is a source of profound interest and a starting point for great spontaneous activity in geography.” The Discovery of the Child, 1948 Nienhuis Montessori “We handpaint the globes with a bright and shiny paint to arouse this profound interest.”

Continuing the legacy.

Montessori stated that ‘the hands are the instruments of human intelligence’. The use of the hands helps the child to construct himself. In our factory it is the hands that create the attractive, precise, ingenious and durable Montessori apparatus. This cannot be done without the passion for what we do. Nienhuis Globe The Nienhuis globe is moulded from high quality, durable plastic and the two hemispheres have a very smooth finished seam. This way the child has an unobstructed view of the complete globe. The globe is positioned on a stainless steel rod which is mounted on a firmwooden stand. The continents are extruded and handpainted with 3 layers of paint and one layer of lacquer. The colors are very vibrant so that they attract the immediate attention of the child.

Learning is in the details.

In the Montessori approach towards education all different subjects are considered as interconnected, integrated and related in order to understand the bigger picture. It is a cosmic, global and holistic approach to education, which makes learning purposeful and meaningful. These interrelations can also be found within the ingenious Montessori materials. A lot of attention to detail must be paid, to enable the children to discover these interrelations. Making precise dimensions, creating perfect shapes, and using the right corresponding colors are well embedded as part of our production process. In this process we are still learning every day. Details create the perfect contrast The raised surface on the globe gives the child a clear distinction between the continents and the water. The continents are painted by hand with attractive and bright colors to entice activity.
