Yes see, touch and feel, the theme for this group! Btw great book for your toddlers to feel different surfaces. Combined that with real life experiences like touching paint, cotton, different food etc makes it fun

The Brown Stair! Montessori sensorial lesson for visual discrimination. These consist of 10 pieces and they make a stair going from “thick” to “thin”. Bringing one piece at a time and putting it back one piece at a time when done is important. They can repeat as many times as they want. Later exercises will include vocabulary words “thick” and
“ thin” with superlatives. They will also build the staining going up!

Let’s see what these two are doing!
Light and dark blue. Firstly they separate the lights and the darks. They will then line them up. Will alternate, make zigzag lines and so on. More importantly they’ll learn to focus, and absorb the sequence.

This year has been unprecedented with all kinds of viral and bacterial infections. In a small operation like ours we were able to curtail infections from spreading in the past. It actually became a hallmark of Lifeskills!!
For now in the wake of these illnesses we continue to consciously and diligently practice hand washing, cleaning and sanitizing all toys and surfaces multiple times a day.
I am grateful to all parents who have been following our health guidelines and have exercised due diligence by keeping sick children home.
We hope to go past these times now and get ready to enjoy the beautiful holiday season just round the corner!!
🎄❄️🎅🏻🤶💐🙏🙏

These are Touch Boards 1 and 2. Touch Board 1 introduces a rough and smooth surface by going up and down and feeling the difference with their hands.
Touch Board 2 has a challenge with narrower strips of rough and smooth. The child now uses two fingers and goes up and down to feel.
Yes you guessed it !!! It is an indirect preparation for writing 📝

Developing the stereognostic sense!

These are a set of 4 cylinder blocks part of the Montessori sensorial apparatus. The median age to introduce is 3 yrs. There is a direct and an indirect aim for each piece of material. Direct aim for this activity is visual discrimination and language development eg they see cylinders that are tall/short, big/small, deep/ shallow, thick/ thin.
It is the indirect aim that makes these lessons so interesting!
See the concentration, the independent work, the built in control of error, the estimation and judgement. And let me not forget the holding of the little k***s that prepare those hands for writing!
