Montessori Lifestyle Tips

 

Respecting your child in every aspect of their life.

Talk TO your child not AT your child.

Use natural simple materials and toys.

Stay away from the flashy plastic toys that will lose their attention in a few days.

Patience.

This can be difficult when your child is trying to complete a task and you are in a hurry to do something. Try to give them the option to do practical tasks only when time will allow as you don’t want to interrupt their concentration.

Follow the child.

Observation of the child is key to success when it comes to Montessori. Let your child take the led and follow them on their journey.

Freedom of choice and movement.

A child must have freedom to explore the indoors and outdoors as well as the freedom to choose.

 

In this photo you can see a toddler playing outside. This is one of the many suggestions for Montessori activities for toddlers.

 

Teach by modeling not correcting.

Show your child how it is done. Do not correct them. If they make a mistake show them again. There is no need to tell them they made a mistake just show them how to do it again.

Teach practical life and sensorial activities.

Children want to learn. They want to learn the tasks that they see us do every day. Both practical and sensorial activities will allow your child to learn new tasks and grow their independence.

Orderly and attractive prepared environments.

It is best to be orderly as not to distract or overwhelm the child’s concentrating mind.

Don’t interrupt your child at work.

Concentration is something your child needs to develop and interruption will delay this.

Use child-size materials.

This will help your child develop their independence by not having to rely on the adult as often.

Create hands-on learning opportunities.

This allows the child to gain a very concrete understanding of the materials.

 

Montessori activities for toddlers include all sort of practical activities. Such as hanging laundry like in this photo.

 

Practical Montessori Activities for Toddlers

“The hands are the instruments of man’s intelligence.”  – Dr. Maria Montessori

This is one of my favorite things about Montessori. Encouraging my little one to do practical real life tasks with me around the house. She enjoys helping and it is such a joy to watch.

Each child is a unique individual and probably won’t comprehend the same tasks at the same time. Celebrate each child’s uniqueness and let each child grow at a pace that suits them. Trust in your child will go a long way.

 

13 Montessori Activites for Toddlers

Patience is everything when completing a real life task with a toddler. As parents, we get wrapped up and the go go go of life keeps us busy. We need to allow the child time to learn at their own pace. Be sure to keep this in mind when your toddler is taking 20 minutes deciding which pair of shoes they want to wear.

  1. Cutting fruit and veggies

  2. Watering garden

  3. Folding laundry

  4. Washing dishes

  5. Setting the table

  6. Putting groceries away

  7. Choosing clothes to wear

  8. Putting toys away

  9. Peeling fruit

  10. Loading the washer

  11. Sweeping the floor

  12. Mopping the floor

  13. Buttering toast

Here are a few items we use at our house to help with practical activities.
