Make a Semsom monkey in a banana tree kitchen roll - with free printables
The Semsom monkey loves math and bananas! He also likes to climb and hang out in the banana trees to enjoy the bananas. That's why we made him a banana tree for Semsom, from a regular kitchen towel. With 8 leaves and even a bunch of bananas hanging inside. Look at him, be happy! And now you can also make such a kitchen roll tree for him, with the free printables that you find on this page.

Do you already know Semsom? Since 2021, Semsom has been a new, fun calculation method by Zwijsen, for children in groups 1-2, 3 and 4. There is a lot of moving and playful learning in the method. The cheerful monkey Semsom likes to play the leading role in this. There are now 550 schools in the Netherlands that work with Semsom. That is approximately 8% of all schools in the Netherlands. Many schools (teachers and students) are thrilled about Semsom. And, of course, we too! So grab your colors, scissors and glue quickly and you can get started right away!
