A practical life and sensory activity list
Practical life in Montessori is an activity that develops motor control and coordination and develops independence, concentration, and a sense of responsibility for the child.
The exercises in practical life cover two main areas of development: care of self and care of the environment.
Here are some more ideas that we’d like to try in the near future!
-
Sensory time with snow (just like tea pot water play)
-
Snowman sensory puzzle
-
Sponge painting with tempera paint
-
Fill pantyhose with rice and then paint with it
-
Table top shaving cream time
-
Do two ziploc bags of: coloring rice with a couple drops of food coloring and rubbing alcohol then let him mix in a sensory bin with cups and funnels
-
Scrub potatoes or squash with a cloth and small bowl of water
-
Cut bananas with his plastic knife
