I always like the Montessori activities for training motor skills. They are very focused and effective. However, my little girl finds it too mundane and boring. She is very active and lacks the necessary patience to complete the tasks. Most of the time, she would get frustrated when she could not do it and make a mess of everything. So I thought maybe she was not much of a Montessori girl.
However, she proved me wrong today. Apparently, she can accomplish one of the Montessori tasks – transferring. She just needed me to customize it to suit her personality. In fact, she was the one who came up with this “game”. She took her “food” and “pots”, sat on the edge of her playing mat and started transferring the “tomato” (with a spoon) from Pot A to a lid and then finally to Pot B. It was definitely not easy (I tried it myself!) but judging from the look on her face... She was really determined and very focused indeed!
