Montessori activities for a childcare provider at home
Montessori pedagogy is a learning method based on the child's autonomy and ability to act by himself in everyday life. Montessori activities and games have the primary objective of stimulating all of the child's senses, his or her capacity for discernment and reflection as well as his or her mobility. Here are two examples:
The sensory bin
The sensory tray puts an explorer's hat on the child. He will touch, feel and manipulate several objects at the same time. The possibilities are endless, to learn more it is here.
The geometric shape box
The introduction to geometry will never be as easy as with this shape game. Children will have fun distinguishing the shapes and placing them in the corresponding opening.
