Pouring. I love these little pitchers from Montessori Services.
Wiping a spill with a cloth.
Working with "tools."
Spooning flat marbles into a silicon ice cube tray. This reinforces one-to-one correspondence (except for the fact that in this photo, he is adding a second marble to one spot).
Threading buttons onto a pipe cleaner.
Sensorial
Knobbed cylinders. He tried two at once but left part way through and came back to it later.
Sorting the fish by color. (Mommy ends up doing it because he is just like Bear in that he is not into sorting.)
Catching a fish. This
is a great game.
is a great game. Stacking pegs.
Playing with cotton balls. He was supposed to be using them for painting, but as you can see below, he didn't think very highly of painting with cotton swabs and cotton balls!
Geometric Cabinet demonstration tray. We did the first and second lesson of the three period lessons.
First part: "This is a triangle."
Second part: "Can you show me the triangle?"
The third part would be to have him name the shape. He still isn't there verbally.

Playing with homemade moon sand.
Painting.
Pushing marbles and golf tees into play dough.

Great activities and adorable photos! My kids loved the fishing game, too - I didn't know it was still around! It's interesting that my kids (and even kids in my Montessori classes) weren't that fond of sorting exercises. Sorting activities really seem to need something special (or interesting added steps) to create interest. Deb @ LivingMontessoriNow.com
ReplyDeleteSo sweet! I also LOVE those pitchers. So many of them don't pour cleanly, but these really do!
ReplyDeleteWe have those pitchers on the shelf right now too! G hasn't tried liquids yet though.
ReplyDeleteJust found your blog on Circle of Moms. Can't wait to dive in!
ReplyDeleteWe have the pitchers too. I have a hard time getting L to use 2 hands to pour and we end up with huge messes. I put them up for a while. Always great to see what j-Jo is up to...your blog really is my go to place for age appropriate Montessori activities! :)
ReplyDeleteI still can't believe how big he's getting! We must be on the same wave length b/c Pita also worked with the demonstration tray for the geometric cabinet and golf tees in playdough this week too. Thanks for linking to Montessori Monday! :)
