Montessori At Home

Practical life is one of the 5 core areas in the Montessori curriculum (extra points for you if you can name all 5 core areas). Children practice life skills from daily life activities such as spooning, pouring and other activities that require hand-eye coordination. 

These activities not only develop their motor skills, it also helps them to be able to concentrate and be more independent as they grow. 

To make these activities fun, why not start baking with your children at home today?
