FAQs

The T-shirts

What is Montessori and how does it relate to the T-shirts?

  • Montessori is a method of education that is student led. It was developed by Dr Maria Montessori in the early 1900s and is still incredibly popular today. In a classroom environment there are multiple specially designed materials available to stimulate children's minds and interests. Our T-shirts are inspired by these materials and we hope to give a taste of Montessori learning to anyone who is curious to know more!

Are there any other themes or designs?

  • There will be! Currently we are working on a second collection. We have so many ideas but how far we go depends on demand so please support us if you can.

Are the T-shirts available in different colours?

  • At this moment, T-shirts are available in white to not pull focus from the content. Experimenting with alternative colours is something we aim to do in the future.

Why is the content upside down?

  • The content is upside down to the viewer. For your child, the wearer, they are finally able to interact with the design on their clothing.

Why do you only offer limited sizes?

  • The themes of the T-shirts are based on the materials in a Montessori 3-6 classroom therefore our sizes are aimed towards that same range.

Are the T-shirts machine washable?

  • Yes. They can be washed at 30 degrees.

What is the QR code for?

  • The QR on the back of the T-shirt links up to a hidden page on our website. There you will find a list of activities and suggestions that will entertain your child using primarily the T-shirt.

Why are the T-shirts in English and French?

  • The Little Light Bulb Company is based in France but run by an English teacher so it seems fitting to honour both languages on our site. Perhaps in the future we can introduce several more languages!

Will games be added over time?

  • Games will not be added to existing T-shirt pages. Children love repetition so the same activity can be reproduced numerous times.
