Zosia and I enjoyed a great Montessori sensory experience with beans.This was a great easy activity to occupy her investigative mind and practice focus.
We attempted practice pouring beans from a large bowl into a smaller one.

As you can see, some beans didn't make the bowl! She is always interested in what Papa and I are doing, so she was eager to copy me in bean pouring.
She loved exploring the beans with her hands as well. She did make a few attempts at eating them... but I was quick with removing them from her tiny mouth. It's definitely not a solo activity.
I love sharing new experiences with her. She is a smart one and I have to keep up with her inquisitive mind. We will definitely play with beans again. We stopped after 30minutes (mom was hungry). She would've played another 30minutes I bet.
Mama's little bean counter. :)
Maybe I will try this with Silas tomorrow. After being a teacher trained in Montessori, I like being reminded now what I can do..........Thanks for the reminders.....I will let you know how it turns out.!!!! Tell Zosia I love her.....and all of you too!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, let me know how it turns out! It's great fun, plus it makes 'babysitting' time more creative and enjoyable. Love to yoU!
