Our little achievers

MATCHING COLOURED DISCS
The purpose of this activity is to enable the child to use his visual and chromatic sense to match the coloured discs to its appropriate cards. Indirectly, this activity gears the child towards the preparation for a Mathematical mind. 

DRESSING FRAMES
Dressing frames enable children to develop fine motor skills so that the child will be able to independently use this skill into daily activities.

BATHING A DOLL
Washing activities prepare children to start developing a caring attitude, thereby enhancing their use of fine motor skills. There is a lot of language involved in the process, that helps the child to become a good listener.

JUICING A LEMON
Such activities allow children to have early sensorial experiences. They feel a sense of pride on completion of such activities. They are meaningful and allow the child to apply it into their daily life. Such an activity would help the child develop his fine motor skills and language for the material. 

LOCK FRAME
The frame gives the child an opportunity to explore different kind of locks, that he may come across in his actual life. Opening and closing the locks give the child a sense of accomplishment and independence. It works towards developing concentration and fine motor skills

PAINTING
There are innumerable benefits of  art. Painting enhances the child's creativity as they explore colours. Besides discovering the world of colours, this activity gives the child the freedom of expression and develops the child's ability to associate these colours found in reality. 

STRINGING BEADS
 Such activities prepare children to develop focus for work and enhance motor skills. Stringing beads will also indirectly prepare children for Math as they can see a pattern in sequencing the beads.

TRANSFERRING OBJECTS USING TONGS
Such activities allow children to independently use objects like tongs which in turn work towards developing their fine motor skills and concentration. This activity would also help the child indirectly for Math as there are specific number of compartments for the objects to be transferred.

SCISSOR CUTTING SKILLS
We all know how young children love cutting with scissors, sometimes even cutting hair, clothing, and other important items. That is one of the reasons why, in the Montessori classroom, we acquaint young children with the appropriate use of scissors and help them develop basic cutting skills. As children develop coordination and skill with scissors, they will experience the satisfaction of mastering an important life skill.

COLANDER WITH PIPE CLEANERS

This activity aids fine motor skills as the child has to make use of the pincer grip to ensure that the pipe cleaners fit inside the vegetable colander holes. The child learns to sit and concentrate throughout the activity and the concept of colors could also be reinforced through this. 

SHAPE SORTER

Children learn to work by fitting the shapes into its respective frames. This activity would enable children to learn about names of different shapes and it works as an indirect preparation for Geometry.

SPOONING GRAINS

Enhancement of fine motor skills along with concentration is encouraged with activities like these. Children learn to have a grip of the spoon and more controlled movements while transferring the grains from one bowl to the other. We introduce children to activities like these as they are familiar to the child and they ultimately aid towards independence.

AMBUCARE BOX WITH A BALL

This Montessori activity enables the child to have more controlled movements while opening and closing the box. Such an activity is called as a preliminary activity as it prepares the child for more complex work at primary level e.g. opening and closing boxes and bottles. 

In the first three years of life, the foundations of physical and also of psychic health are laid. In these years, the child not only increases in size but passes through great transformations. This is the age in which language and movement develop- Maria Montessori

We at Casa Vista Montessori recognize these developments and offer a prepared environment in order that these activities may develop freely.
