Spooning beads between bowls

You have everything

Direct aim: Strengthen the pincer grip and prepare the hand for writing

How to present it

  1. Place two bowls on the tray, the full one on the left.
  2. Hold the spoon with three fingers and fill it from the left bowl.
  3. Move the spoon across and empty it into the right bowl without hurrying.
  4. Continue until the left bowl is empty, then swap the bowls back.

Control of error: Dropped beads land on the tray and are easy to see and retrieve.

Pouring water between jugs

Direct aim: Refine hand control, wrist rotation and concentration

How to present it

  1. Carry the tray to the table with two hands and sit beside the child.
  2. Grasp the handle of the full jug, lift slowly and pour into the empty jug.
  3. Pause when the jug is empty, set it down, then pour back the other way.
  4. Wipe any spills with the sponge and return the tray to the shelf.

Control of error: Spilled water is visible on the tray, so the child sees at once when the pour was too fast.

You would also need: Small jugs

Table washing

Direct aim: Sequence a long task independently and care for the environment

How to present it

  1. Set out the bowl, soap, sponge and drying cloth from left to right.
  2. Wet the sponge, squeeze it, and wash the table in overlapping circles.
  3. Rinse the sponge and wipe the table again to lift the soap.
  4. Dry the table with the cloth and tip the water away.

Control of error: Streaks and dry patches show the child which parts of the table still need attention.

You would also need: Cloths and sponges

Presentations follow standard Montessori practice but are summarised for planning. Observe the child and only present when they show readiness. Formal Montessori training covers far more than a card like this can.
