Dinner time Montessori Practical Life skills activity: sorting beans!

She’s picking out the beans rather than sorting them though and it took awhile for her to grasp what I wanted her to do… haha… even then, she doesn’t always do it correctly (as shown in the video below).

Yesterday I let Alicia try scooping rice grains during her lunch to let her try something new. First she dug her hands into the container of rice grains and had a great time with the new texture. Subsequently when I offered her a scoop, she began to scoop the rice grains into the other container.

She was very absorbed in the activity when she first started and I was very busy feeding her then as she was eating properly and not keeping food in the mouth… feeding her’s the priority so video-ing her had to wait. By the time I got the camera out, she wasn’t so into the activity already and she was getting distracted by her daddy who had just come home early from work.
