spooning / transferring grains to the identical bowls/montessori activity 2.3.1/ lady bird

Spooning is a Basic Exercise within the Practical Life area of a Montessori classroom. One of the first lessons introduced in the early childhood classroom, this work further develops focus, concentration, visual and fine motor development.
The spooning work will also help a child master the three-finger grip and thus prepare him for activities outside the Practical Life learning area. This work is fantastic because there is a lot of creativity you can throw into the mix depending on materials available, interests of children, and themes throughout the year.
Children seem to enjoy transfer work, including the sounds, the objects, and the utensil. Plus, children work on their fine motor skills and pre-reading left to write skills.
