The puzzle tray was replaced with a containers and lids activity after I took the picture. Like his nice bruise? He had a disagreement with a feed trough in the barn.
Montessori theory is so accurate: he is definitely interested in transferring activities!
We learned the ASL signs for star, moon, and yellow. We did “circle time” for the first time and he LOVED it! More on that later. I hung a couple more hooks in the kitchen within his reach so he has a place to put his bib if it’s clean enough to use again.
Another awesome post! Thanks fo sharing! Can you share where you access the Montessori Theory and the transferring… I have found lots of resourcse but none that explain the stages and such. Thanks!!
I’ll have to post some links for you! In general I know the focus at this age is on practical life activities and that has held true here. He was fascinated with pouring for a long time and is now constantly wanting to do transferring.
I cut a sponge in to a star shape for him to use. I normally wouldn’t mess with his art but this time when he was done I did dab stars on the ones that didn’t show a definite shape, just so the writing would make sense. I taped the cards down in a cake pan so they wouldn’t slide around and get stuck together. 🙂

Pretty star! I love how everything is organized so neatly! How did he paint the stars? Thanks for great ideas!
