Practical life - Wet pouring ( pitcher to cups )

This was one of the montessori materials that I introduced to T.



I got him to fill the pitcher with water on his own, teaching him the skill to turn on/off the tap and holding the pitcher properly so that it will not spill.



Then, he has to be at his table, attempting to pour water from the pitcher to the cups without spilling much onto the tray/ floor. I think this activity refines his motor skill and it trains up his concentration. And water play has always been his favorite material!



At the end of the activity, I got him to take out a cloth from his drawer and wipe the floor dry ( with the help of Daddy ) and also his workdesk. He was able to follow all my instructions and do the tasks well.
