Baking is a practical life skill through which children learn how to follow recipes, measure ingredients, and create new substances, all while increasing self help and independence. After preparing the cookies in the morning, they were baked during rest time and the children woke up to warm, delicious cookies!

These types of activities give a child a sense of belonging and the satisfaction of being productive citizens in their community. What wonderful help in maintaining our classroom by washing place-mats!

In our Under 3 Montessori classroom, the children are shown easy ways to dress and undress themselves. They learn how to put their jackets on by flipping them over their heads; practice putting their boots on by placing each boot against the nearest wall to aid their balance; work on pulling their snow pants up; and putting their hats and mittens on. Help children to help themselves!

Practical life activities are opportunities for children to participate and contribute to their community. Arranging fresh flowers enhances eye-hand coordination, refinement of movement, concentration, aesthetic sense, and coordinates the use of both hands working together. What a beautiful flower arrangement!
