I homeschool my children up to the age of four. Now I am an early years consultant and write about Montessori related and inspired activities that I love sharing with parents and caregivers. Here you will find Montessori resources, children’s crafts, cooking, gardening, sewing and much more.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">My name is Kalpana Pandit, I am a mother of 4
children and four grandchildren. I have over 35 years of experience working
with children and their families. I have
a master´s degree in education, and I am an early year´s specialist consultant,
with a diploma in Montessori and Emmi Pikler 0 -6 years old.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> I have always
worked in early year´s sectors, writing and implementing early year´s concepts
and setting up Montessori playgroups, kindergartens and bilingual early year´s settings.
Few years ago I took a career change in order to set up a Montessori sensory
garden. As part of my sensory program
and births of my grandchildren where I was passing on my knowledge of baby
massage, I got more curious to learn the science behind baby massage.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I have experienced first-hand the endless benefits of baby massage and it never stops surprising me how powerful this art is. Massage is so ingrained into my Hindu way of life and has been passed on from generations to massage our new born babies. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt;">International Association
of Infant Massage (IAIM) which draws on the traditions of Indian and Swedish massage,
as well as the principles of Reflexology and Yoga</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I became a Certified Infant Massage Instructor. Now
I am an Instructor for the International Association for Infant Massage (IAIM)
and DGBM e.V. Die Deutsche Gesellschaft für Babymassage e.V. (DGBM) in Germany.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">My week is split between baby massage, baby sensory
classes and the Montessori Sensory Garden for children.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I count myself lucky to be able to do the jobs that
are dear to my heart, working with children and families in early years
settings and be part of their parenting journey. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">September 2023 I setup my Baby Massages Classes for
parents and caregivers. I run bespoke, one to one and small group classes from
Little Montessori Pundit´s (LMP), or at parents home. I teach both online and
face to face.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

weeks in order to give both the parent and the baby time to learn and
accustomed to massage. IAIM baby massage classes involves many different types of touch, movement, interaction and communication. They include time for parent relaxation and informal
discussions on joys and challenges of parenting. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

Wet felting is suitable for children as young as three years of age. As for tools you will need warm water, and in addition soapy water in a spray bottle. The water has to be lukewarm so that it is safe for the children to use.
On the other hand with Needle Felting there are few safety measures to take into consideration when working with young children:
1. The felting needle is sharp so make sure that you provide finger protection and never leave the child/children alone.

Rather than comparing developing milestones and offering structured play e.g. directed play, or organised activities. <br /><br />Montessori playgroup environment encourages parents to actively participate in various activities through observing their child´s unique development paths. This is offered by prepared environment and deductive activities as per child´s individuals needs. <br /><br />Brief description of the groups: <br /><br /><b>The Baby group: Babies (from around 4 -12 months old) </b><br /><br />We offer activities that will stimulate and support development in various skills such as handgrip, fine motor skills, finger strength and hand-eye coordination, problem-solving on a very basic level. <br /><br />These activities are introduced in such away to give the child opportunity to be independent, able to concentrate, without any interruption.</div><div><br /></div><div>Day: Either Tuesday 19.10.21 or Thursday 21.10.21<br /><br />Time: 10:00 - 11-30 am<br /><br />We offer 3 blocks of 10 sessions for 1 and ½ hours<br /><br />Fees for each block is Euros 130 and cannot be split</div><div><br />Sessions will run throughout the year<br /><br /> <b><br />Toddlers (from around 13-20 months old) </b><br /><br />In the toddler class the children use child-sized equipment to support independence, movement, curiosity and concentration. These materials are carefully prepared for individual needs of the children´s natural development. <br /><br />Room Structure outdoor/indoor <br /><br />In the toddler group plays are child-led with Montessori activities and circle time at the end of the session. <br /><br />All the Montessori activities are on the shelves to allow children to follow their natural aspiration to learn and develop in different areas: <br /><br />Hand-eye coordination, art, fine and gross motor development, practical skills, self care, language, reading, music and social interaction. <br /><br />The toddlers are accompanied by a parent, grandparent or a caregiver. <br /><br />Starting: Tuesday - 19.10.2021 and 21.10.2021 <br /><br />Duration: 1 and ½ hours</div><div><br />Day: Either Tuesday 19.10.21 or Thursday 21.10.21 <br /><br />Time: 14:00 - 15-30 pm <br /><br />We offer 3 blocks of 10 sessions for 1 and ½ hours <br /><br />Fees for each block is Euros130 and cannot be split</div><div><br />Sessions will run throughout the year <br /><br /><br /><b>Small Children (from around 18-36 months) </b><br /><br />LMP offers Montessori parent-child playgroup twice a week. The aim of this group is to support children´s independence, confidence and curiosity of the world around them. To share with the parents how they can apply Montessori approach into their daily lives and support their children through simple but motivating activities that we do using everyday objects (natural materials) made from our surroundings. <br /><br />Starting: Tuesday - 19.10.2021 and 21.10.2021 <br /><br />Duration: 1 and ½ hours <br /><br />Day: Either Tuesday or Thursday <br /><br />Time: To be decided <br /><br />We offer 3 blocks of 10 sessions for 1 and ½ hours <br /><br />Fees for each block is Euros 130 and cannot be split</div><div><br />Sessions will run throughout the year.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/0Pa657elC9k" width="320" youtube-src-id="0Pa657elC9k"></iframe></div><br /><br /><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Little Montessori Punditshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15600051840643092334noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3287553292715271289.post-49802249885814950682021-05-10T05:27:00.001-07:002021-05-10T05:27:09.213-07:00Update on Sensory Garden<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/091TCdn8_VY" width="320" youtube-src-id="091TCdn8_VY"></iframe></div><br /><p><span style="background-color: white; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87); font-family: Roboto, Noto, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Hi everyone a quick update on our sensory garden. </span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87); font-family: Roboto, Noto, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
As well as preparing LMP Montessori indoor environment, we are also preparing Montessori outdoor environment.
Using the Montessori concept we are designing a sensory garden.
By having this simple nature pond we want to give children hands on experience to touch, feel living things and explore the environment.</span></p>Little Montessori Punditshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15600051840643092334noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3287553292715271289.post-14483016663623805242021-05-05T11:24:00.003-07:002021-05-17T12:18:52.770-07:00Setting up Montessori Environment <p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/_4sfevH5fxU" width="320" youtube-src-id="_4sfevH5fxU"></iframe></div><span color="rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87)" face="Roboto, Noto, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><p><span color="rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87)" face="Roboto, Noto, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></p>Hi everyone this is Little Montessori Pundits.

These activities are designed for babies to support their development by creating a prepared environment where they unconsciously further improve their senses such as seeing and hearing and strengthen their muscles which they need for movements such as kicking, grabbing, turning, sitting etc.
These are all DIY activities which are very easy to put together.

drawing a large heart, draw a second heart in the large heart, leaving about
two centimetres (or one inch) gap. I normally leave about two fingers gap.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt;">Next
cut the heart and then from the centre of the cardboard heart again cut around
the <br />
second heart. This will make a large hole for the child to use his/hers hands
for wrapping the yarn.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt;">Next
cut the yarn or if using ribbons then cut only 70 centimetres (27 inches)
long. Not<br />
too long as it becomes too difficult and confusing for the young child to
wrap.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt;">Once
you have cut the shapes, the yarn and ribbons, have it ready for the child as
in<br />
the video.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt;">First
show the child how to wrap the yarn, once the child is ready then handover. It
could be that after a couple of rounds the child might get tired and stop. Then
ask</span><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"" style="font-size: 11pt;"> the child
whether he/she would like to stop. If the child says yes then ask the child to
put away the activity and finish it later or continue next day.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
</p><p><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt;">Let
the child practice wrapping as young children like to repeat to master their
skills. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p dir="rtl" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: right;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><br /></span></p><div><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Tj-CW-paEQU" width="320" youtube-src-id="Tj-CW-paEQU"></iframe></div> Video: Yarn Wrapped Crafts for Children</span></span><div><br /></div><div><span><span><br /></span></span></div><div><span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/5b9SjnC9BwM" width="320" youtube-src-id="5b9SjnC9BwM"></iframe></div><br /><span><span color="rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87)" face="Roboto, Noto, sans-serif" style="font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Video: Weaving Activities for Children - for fine motor skills and dexterity</span></span></span></div>Little Montessori Punditshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15600051840643092334noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3287553292715271289.post-92227179668809850112021-03-17T09:33:00.004-07:002021-03-19T09:47:33.044-07:00Learning Shapes by Wrapping Yarn to a Paper Plate<p><br /></p><p><span face="Roboto, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11.5pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiv10-1t0ys_Bxoej-mVxab5Due0cimnqVaB-GrZGP6rw9hsCjpRfh0XEeMzDlwkeejZz_-mlVZslmqABp90NJHuzhPk-Gn9qQcMpVMu9OhGk3LFSUE_ee-zso1kM4AxuQ87XH5cIZ2qgT3/s2048/IMG_7297+%25283%2529.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="174" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiv10-1t0ys_Bxoej-mVxab5Due0cimnqVaB-GrZGP6rw9hsCjpRfh0XEeMzDlwkeejZz_-mlVZslmqABp90NJHuzhPk-Gn9qQcMpVMu9OhGk3LFSUE_ee-zso1kM4AxuQ87XH5cIZ2qgT3/w320-h174/IMG_7297+%25283%2529.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />I have put together a collection of weaving crafts for children as young as two years old. Weaving crafts helps younger children develop fine motors skills, hand eye coordination, focus and encourage them to finish tasks.<p></p><span id="docs-internal-guid-03b80b7c-7fff-a14b-0fc1-8f3105ea5af3"><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Roboto, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">These activities are simple and the child sees immediate results, that gives confidence to do the next task or activity. It supports their fine motor skills e.g. writing, using a paint brush, daily life skills such as using folk and knives, tying shoe laces and buckles etc.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Roboto, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I have used basic materials such as a colander from the kitchen, yarn, cardboard and natural materials from my garden. You really don’t have to buy materials to support your child's fine motors skills. Look around you to see what you can find that is child friendly and safe for the child to use.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Roboto, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11.5pt;

font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">This is one of my top hit activities to do with young children. It's super fun for toddlers, kindergartners and preschools. The children not only learn about shapes, but they learn the very basic method of weaving. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.656; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">Depending on the age of the child, you can start by giving them some colours so that they can colour each of the plates with different colours. You can ask them e.g. which colour they want to use to paint the circle or the triangle. I normally introduce one shape at a time and gradually go through all the shapes over a period of time.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.656; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">It normally takes about a day if the child has painted the plate with water colours, as the plate has to dry first. If using crayons then you can start immediately by cutting the shape that you want in the plate.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.656; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">Once the paper plates are dry, draw different large shapes inside the plates. You then cut each shape from inside.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.656; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">Now cut the yarn or ribbons about 70 to 80 centimeters in length so that it is easier for the child to wrap it around the paper plate. (Example you will see in the video below). Cut three of each colours</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.656; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">Next using the tape, take one end of the yarn and stick it to the inside of the plate and start to wrap the yarn.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.656; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">First show the child how to wrap, and then ask the child if he/she would like to try.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.656; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">The child might try it for two or three rounds, that's fine. If you see the child is tired and would like to stop, ask the child to put it away and tell the child that he/she can continue with the activity later on or next day. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.656; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">Use different yarn or ribbons for different shapes.</span></p><br /><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dwnQJWxd9IHix-Vfd1Lfz2qg81-3UWDOv-Zb_E3k45E2ukvjeJX6Mw4p2usnt-RJW7v-Vj2cVOLX39E9KCjNw' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; font-weight: 700; text-align: left;">Video: Learning Shapes by Wrapping Yarn to Paper Plates</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; font-weight: 700; text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; font-weight: 700; text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; font-weight: 700; text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; font-weight: 700; text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; font-weight: 700; text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/5b9SjnC9BwM" width="320" youtube-src-id="5b9SjnC9BwM"></iframe></div><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; font-weight: 700; text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><br /></span></div></span>Little Montessori Punditshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15600051840643092334noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3287553292715271289.post-1112887020873167652021-03-04T06:50:00.001-08:002021-03-04T06:53:06.852-08:00Montessori Sandpaper Numbers 0-9 Presentation <h2 style="text-align: left;"> </h2><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixOnl4vdejWlmzefupjtB7AdhHGVGppS95LScVQPntE5AzDepmjaqVS5uSeS0G3e8hZMjuFLn8GYyWi8e4ZhdTrRoBVHiso7gC8bmUGZ0hnVeWTKBJ7svyrUgCQR_lF7GeRQ_hYotQVUy8/s912/View+recent+photos.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="754" data-original-width="912" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixOnl4vdejWlmzefupjtB7AdhHGVGppS95LScVQPntE5AzDepmjaqVS5uSeS0G3e8hZMjuFLn8GYyWi8e4ZhdTrRoBVHiso7gC8bmUGZ0hnVeWTKBJ7svyrUgCQR_lF7GeRQ_hYotQVUy8/s320/View+recent+photos.png" width="320" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">You will need DIY Montessori Sandpaper Numbers 0-9; you will

<h3 style="text-align: left;"> Presentation:</h3><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0px;"><span style="text-indent: -18pt;"> 1. Take the Montessori sandpaper number box to the
mat or the table.</span><span style="text-indent: -18pt;"> </span><span style="text-indent: -18pt;">I prefer to do the
presentation on the mat as there is enough room for the child to move and place
the numbers.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0px;"><span style="text-indent: -18pt;"> 2. Place the box in the upper right corner.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0px;"><span style="text-indent: -18pt;"> 3. Take the first 3 numbers and place them
face-down on your right side.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0px;"><span style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; text-indent: -18pt;"> 4. </span><span style="font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; text-indent: -18pt;"> </span><span style="text-indent: -18pt;">Put the 0 on one side.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0px;"><span style="text-indent: -18pt;"> 5. Take number 1 first and trace it with your
pointer finger.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0px;"><span style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; text-indent: -18pt;"> 6. </span><span style="font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; text-indent: -18pt;"> </span><span style="text-indent: -18pt;">Give the number to the child and say it is his/hers turn
now.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0px;"><span style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; text-indent: -18pt;"> 7. </span><span style="font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; text-indent: -18pt;"> </span><span style="text-indent: -18pt;">Place the number 1 in the top left hand corner
of the mat.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0px;"><span style="text-indent: -18pt;"> 8. Now take number 2 and trace, then pass the number
to the child to trace.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0px;"><span style="text-indent: -18pt;"> 9. Ask the child to put number 2 next to number 1.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0px;"><span style="text-indent: -18pt;">10. Repeat the same with number 3.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0px;"><span style="text-indent: -18pt;">11. Next allow the child to trace numbers 1 to 3.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0px;"><span style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; text-indent: -18pt;">12. </span><span style="text-indent: -18pt;">You can repeat this two or three times.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0px;"><span style="text-indent: -18pt;">13. </span><span style="text-indent: -18pt;">Next mix the numbers and ask the child to put
them in order and do a three period lesson with the child.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0px;"><span style="text-indent: -18pt;">14. On</span><span style="text-indent: -18pt;">ce the child knows the first three numbers you
can introduce the next three numbers and slowly the rest of numbers.</span></p><h3 style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0px;">Points of Interest:</h3><p class="MsoNormal">Understanding the concept of numbers.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Direct Purpose:</h3><p style="text-align: left;">1. By using the fingers on the sandpaper numbers it
give the child the sensorial feeling of the shape of the symbol and the
quality.</p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-indent: -18pt;">2. Gradually teaching the child the sequence of
numbers.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-indent: -18pt;">3. Recognition of numbers 0-9.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-indent: -18pt;">4. Preparation for writing numbers and future

She chose the blue colour that you see in the above picture. It took two days, she was having fun painting. Next I had some star stickers that we use, you can even paint the stars instead of sticking stickers, the choice is yours. </p><p>As counters I used clothespins, as it helps towards finger dexterity, it strengthens child's fingers to handle small objects or to manipulate controls using their fingers. </p><p>I had the correct amount of clothespins as the star stickers on the plate. To begin with I am going upto number 5, as she gets more confident I will then introduce further numbers upto 10 and so on. </p><p>I have used different colours of stickers for each number on the plate, so that when I am introducing the activity, I would say for example: One red star, two green stars and so on…</p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38;

Working together in a group.</span></span></p><p style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Advance preparation:<span style="font-weight: normal;"> </span></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;">In an open space by using masking tape make the shapes on the floor. Large enough for two or three people to stand inside the shapes. You can also draw large shapes on paper and stick them with a masking tape. I find that slippery when little children are moving around.</span></span></p><p style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">You can make double sets of each shape.</span></p><p style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">Activity: </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: small;">First introduce the shapes to the child by saying this is a circle and so on. Go around all the shapes and identify them with the help of the child, then ask the child to find a triangle and so on. Remember the child might not know all the names of the shapes and will need your help in identifying them. Help the child by giving him/her some clues to which shape you are referring e.g. if you're talking about a triangle you can say it has three corners like your cushion.</span></span></p><p style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: small;">Get two more children, if not children than get mum, dad, older sister or brother to join in. Play a warm up game by putting on calm and gentle music when walking around the shapes. Start at the top of the shape and walk on line of the shape in clockwise direction . The aim is to walk on the lines. </span></span></p><p style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: small;">In the beginning the child/children has to stand on the lines of the shapes. Encourage them first to move around and recognise the shapes. </span></span></p><p style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: small;">Once the child/children understand the rules of the game, you can start playing musical shapes. The aim of this game is to work in a group, so while the music is playing everyone is moving around the shapes and when the music stops the person who is in charge of the music will shout CIRCLE. Everyone goes to the circle and stands inside the circle. Repeat it again with different shapes. Encourage the child/children to find the circle. </span></span></p><p style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: small;">As they get familiar with the game, introduce different gross movements such as hopping like a rabbit, walking like a bear, and waddling like a duck and so on.</span></span></p><p style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: small;">Remember to applaud the child/children for playing so well and working together in a group.

With a lot of requests from my viewer that I post some videos and step by step activities on Montessori inspired math activities for toddlers. As I was preparing for these activities for my granddaughter, I thought I'll share them with you all. She has now reached the stage where she is inquisitive and likes to investigate in all areas of her development and especially in math activities.<div><br /></div><div>Children are exposed to numbers and math in everyday lives, such as seeing numbers on clocks, calendar, money, and indirect math such as in conversations, exploration, objects, fruit and vegetables, discussing quantities such as big or small, learning about shapes, symbols, comparing sizes, matching, counting quantities and so on. <br /><br />I have put together Montessori inspired DIY Math activities for toddler, which are in two parts, including physical activities for toddlers. I like to use practical life objects such as clothespins, pebbles, dry beans and twigs. As these manipulatives gives the child experience in handling objects with care so that the child is focused on his/hers fine motor skills, which lay the foundation for later math work.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQcGKeoPH8wjIyXSS7vcFfgSN2AowKkunWNknaX8eiBI2RzcRXIz2vDOvqEfB0gpzRNVv5K_Wy0LU2tW-EHGA3BiIQtzlJnWTF3-xla7zv8yTuCf04VIiv2oxHK7EvrUCFL84kmgR7_ihv/s2048/IMG_6997.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: times;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQcGKeoPH8wjIyXSS7vcFfgSN2AowKkunWNknaX8eiBI2RzcRXIz2vDOvqEfB0gpzRNVv5K_Wy0LU2tW-EHGA3BiIQtzlJnWTF3-xla7zv8yTuCf04VIiv2oxHK7EvrUCFL84kmgR7_ihv/w240-h320/IMG_6997.jpg" width="240" /></span></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: times;">Practical life objects such as clothespins, pebbles, dry bean and twigs<br /><br /></span></td></tr></tbody></table></div></div>Practical life objects are easily available to use as counters, and repetition, enhancing child's vocabulary development e.g. associating objects with quantities. <br /><br /></div><div>Montessori activities are done in sequence, to know more about these activities, I am offering a workshop: Montessori Inspired DIY Math Activities for Toddlers.
