5 Fun Montessori activities to do with your children at home

I admit that I occasionally catch the “mother’s fault” trap, even if I actively try not to. The only thing that causes these feelings the most is the time I spend with my children. It happens, I probably don’t stress about anything! An examination shows that the time a parent spends with their children has no effect on success, in fact, quality is more than quantity (isn’t that everything?) According to research, later success levels in life are more closely linked. ra quality more time than parents spend with their children. I’ll be honest, I can run out of ideas quickly playing with children, that’s why I’ve been researching Montessori activities lately.

Although I try to do activities like daily life like cooking and cleaning up a children’s game, sometimes you just need to put your hands and knees and pay attention to them. So in most cases I go when I’m out of ideas my Instagram to get the latest and greatest ideas from other moms — tried and true and fun. Being a Type A personality, I was focused on the actions to be taken with the kids we can do it outside so the mixing and cleaning was quick and easy.

It’s also important for me to touch on learning many of these activities in Montessori style. If this term is new to you, it’s just Montessori an innovative approach to education based on the child developed a century ago an Italian woman ahead of her time. This philosophy and practice of education promotes rigorous and motivated growth in all areas of child and adolescent development with the goal of nurturing the child’s natural desire for knowledge, understanding and respect.

Rather than just filling children with events, Montessori education strives to nurture each child’s natural desire for knowledge, understanding, and respect. So without further ado, here are my top five Montessori activities for kids!

Climb up your sidewalk by doing some chalk play home sidewalk paint together. This mixture is nice and thick, and when it dries it looks like a sidewalk chalk, it also blooms easily with a garden hose. Montessori is also a wonderful outdoor activity for preschoolers to practice their first writing skills (letters, numbers, name, visual words, etc.).

INGREDIENTS AND SUPPLIES:

1. Sectional container
2. Cornstarch (corn flour in the UK)
3. Water
4. Food coloring (Liquid watercolors)
5. Small whip

MIX THE SIDE PAINTING:

• Add 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons of starch to each section of the bowl. Add less than 1/4 cup of cold water to each section.
• Stir in the cornstarch until completely dissolved. He can throw your paint out of the blender to make it thick enough.
• Add food coloring and stir well.
• Now you’re ready to hit the sidewalk and do some art!

Toy washing machine

Create a toy washer in the yard. As Liam gets older, he begins to take an interest in how things move together and how it works. At the moment, that means they have cars, tractors and wheels. Let your little ones get muddy and set up a washing machine to wash toy cars.

Montessori with Father

Let’s get involved in the funny dad too! Take your father’s shaving cream and throw it on a table, add a food color and let the kids play. It’s a very cheap and easy way to find out how mixing colors together will create new colors. Talk about the perfect Montessori activity!

Tie-Dye for Older Children

Connect some items together. Okay, I actually have another reason for this. I saw it recently this wonderful DIY He put it on HGTV and turned my wheels. While this tie dyeing design may be an activity that is best suited for adult children, a tie dye is a great Montessori activity for little ones. Teaching them that what they create is fun and unique is a great use of the evening in my head.
