Activities for Parents and Children

Activities for Parents:

1. Read Montessori Literature: Start with "The Absorbent Mind" by Maria Montessori or other introductory materials to gain a deeper understanding of the approach.

2. Create a Prepared Environment:

   • Organize Materials: Set up low shelves with toys, art materials, or learning tools that your child can independently access.

   • Accessible Furniture: Ensure that tables, chairs, and materials are child-sized so your child can use them without help.

   • Order and Simplicity: Keep the environment neat and uncluttered to encourage focus.

Activities for Children:

• Practical Life Skills: Allow your child to help with simple household tasks like setting the table, folding clothes, or watering plants.

• Sensorial Exploration: Provide sensory-rich experiences like sorting objects by color, shape, or texture.

Reflection:

• Observe how your child interacts with the environment.

• Take note of their preferences and adjust the space as needed.
