Friday Five: Favorite Practical Life Activities

These are some photos of practical life activities from my archives.  I'd say these five practical life activities continue to be favorites.

1. Stringing Beads

2. Water Transfer - anything involving water is fun!


3. Droppers - the droppers and mini bath mats are kept with the bath toys now and Bear always chooses to play with them while she's in the bath.

4. Pouring with a funnel

5. Helping in the kitchen



One Extra:
J-jo has recently discovered my Proclick binding and his new practical life activity is to open and close these with his fingers.  I couldn't have asked for a better way for him to strengthen those little fingers.

    My boys love helping in the kitchen too. I need to do some more water transfer activities for Asher. Your post reminded me of that so thank you. My favorite has to be the last one. I never even thought of using binding to strengthen their fingers. Fantastic idea! Thanks for linking up. :)

    Wonderful activities! I am always perusing through your archives, your blog is a source for inspiration for me. I love the water transfer work and it has always been a favorite among the kiddos here too. Thank you for sharing.

    what a wonderful list! i've been having my students fill the suction cups of the bath mats with small beads (tweezing), but the eye dropper is genius! love it!
