montessori at home
This week we looked at writing letters, as Theo's become quite obsessed with it lately, especially the letters for his name. So I set up a little copy and trace sort of activity and used some different textures, flour and lentils for him to draw in.
It was a very fun, albeit very messy activity, that ended with us making hand and footprints in the flour, which then may have ended up all over the floor...
ha!! messy but fun :D We do a similar activity but used coloured, scented salt :) great fun
ReplyDeleteas a tactile person myself, i LOVE the idea of texture and touch to learn letters, etc!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun activities! I am storing all these up to do with my girls x
ReplyDeleteah what a fun thing to do! Love the one with lentils I think all that flour on the floor might make me freak out a bit, I need to let go and just get messy! x
ReplyDeleteI love this idea, it's wonderful! Will have to keep It locked in my brain for when my smallest is a bit bigger! x
ReplyDeleteGreat idea. I used to love doing similar with my older three but haven't yet with youngest so you have reminded and inspired me! As well as lentils, flour, sand and salt etc we also did the same with unscented shaving foam/squirty cream for a different texture. I would have to use squirty cream with Izzy as she would try and eat the foam! lol x
ReplyDeleteThis is genius! Thank you so much for this series, I'm really really enjoying it x
ReplyDeleteIt looks fun! Think I might have to leave off the flour though as it would end up everywhere!! x
ReplyDeleteOh this is such a great idea and so lovely to see he is taking an interest in letters. So simple and effective may try something like this at home :)
