Play

“In one corner of a sunlit room at Trionfale there is a fascinating little salon. Soft rugs of a small size, dimunitive green wicker easy chairs, sofa and round tea table, books of colored pictures and large dolls’ dishes make it possible for the children to ‘play house’ under ideal conditions. They learn through their play a sweet kind of hospitality, and the little school ‘drawing room’ of Montessori stands for necessary development of the social instinct in children which is important.”
