••••••••••••••••
💡Messy play like finger painting is very important for early childhood development since it helps the body and brain to integrate tactile information in a creative way. Process art is perfect for little artists since the focus lies in the creation of the work, not the outcome! During this fun artistic process, your child learns how colors work, especially color mixing, while developing spatial awareness and sensory integration. And it’s FUN!!!

In a Montessori, 🔡lower-case letters are introduced first, before the 🔠upper since they are most prevalent and seen most in text/books⁉️And Sensitive period for language is from birth to 6 yrs. In particular, at 2.5 YO children have a special sensitivity to absorbing letter shapes and sounds! So start early and do introduce letters by their phonetical 🔈 sounds first, instead of names to avoid 🤯confusion!
⠀
YOU’ll NEED:
- bounty paper
- markers
- droppers
- 💦 water
——
AGE 2Y + ⚠️Always supervise your child!

••••••••••••••••
💡 “What the hand does, the mind remembers.” In preparation for language work, children start in sensorial areas, where they learn to focus, concentrate, & develop a sense of order. Through senses, children learn SOUNDS by using hands-on materials. If you think about it, the letters of the alphabet are merely written codes for phonetic sounds in words. (Hello phonological awareness!) Thus, the road to literacy would always start with spoken language and SOUNDS! And #learningbydoing proves to be very effective! So spray letters, hide them, freeze them, bury in rainbow rice!
⠀

Hands-on learning is a form of education where children are learning by doing. So, instead of merely listening, little people are making, creating, and actively engaging, thus experiencing a huge 🧠 increase in the amount of information that they retain. For example studies have shown that when children sit and listen intently but passively, they retain 20 percent of the presented information. On the other hand, when children are given the opportunity to DO THE DOING that percentage 📈increases to 75 percent.
Thus, trust me, instead of explaining your child peninsula vs a gulf OR strait vs isthmus 😳WHY NOT MAKE IT👉🏻

Happy 🇺🇸Memorial Day my friends! And since the weekend officially opens ‘summer season’ I thought an ice cream DIY is very appropriate 😜
⠀
So much research has been done on the benefits of teaching ↔️number lines as a visual math strategy. Children who early on are exposed to a linear representations of numbers, will later on be able to make a leap towards mental calculations without paper more easily.
⠀
⠀
WHAT YOU NEED:
- a roll of paper
-a ruler and markers
- dot markers are perfect for 2 YO + but you can also use dot stickers, paint with Pom Poms, place marvels or any round counters, etc.
⠀
•••••••••
GOAL: 1:1 correspondence ~ Which is the ability to match an object (dot prints or pom poms) to the corresponding number and recognize👆🏻 that number is symbols to represent a quantity! Young children often learn “rote counting” without having an understanding of 1 :1😮 they count till 10 just like a heart-learned poem! (That is they memorize the numerical order without really understanding what each quantity mean.) To lean RATIONAL counting, offer them to COUNT aloud each stamp and then TOUCH each POM POM as they color and number match.

Happy Sunday my friends🥰This is the funnest TASTE SAFE sensory bin you can make! There is just something about squishing these blocks that is SO satisfying! And if you have a large tub 🛀 sit your little one right IN it! While older children will enjoy 💪🏻squeezing and squishing ! Perfect for developing small muscle of the hands!! And the best part, while it is TASTE SAFE, it tastes horrible (gelatin does not contain sugar) so your little one will not be too inclined to eat it 🙊! Inspired by 📣 @mothercould 🌈🥰
⠀
YOU’ll NEED:
- unflavored gelatin powder
- water
- food coloring
⠀
HOW 👉🏻 mix 1 tablespoon of gelatin with 1 cup of water 💦
⠀
#MontessoriFromTheHeart_sensorial
——-
AGE 6M - 100 + ⚠️Always supervise your child as gelatin can be choking hazard.
⠀
SKILLs:
- hand 🖐🏻 eye 👁 coordination
- fine motor control (working small muscles of the hand)
-dexterity
- bilateral coordination (using both sides of the body in a coordinated manner).
⠀
••••••••••••
💡From birth till 5 yrs is a sensitive period for sensory skills refinement! From 1- 3.5 yr a child is fixated on small objects and tiny details indicating that a mind is able to discern order and details. Thereafter, from 2-5 yr a child is fascinated with sensorial experiences such as taste, sight, touch so activities that refine these senses provide children with the system to classify objects within their environment. So, offer your child various #invitationstoplay to explore and observe their environment using the senses!

💡 Development milestone to learn to identify colors emerges from age 12 to 18 M. Your child will become aware of different colors at around 1 Y and can name different colours by the age of 2.5-3 Y. However, discerning shades is a more advanced skill which can be mastered with frequent practice!
