It contains 7 Nins-acorns in 7 colors that are associated with each day of the week according to Waldorf pedagogy, 7 vessels and 1 round dish (18cm diameter) where the elements are contained.

Material to experience the weekly cyclic rhythm. The children will associate each day with their color, and in this way, they will be able to understand the passage of the days.
