Wooden Cleaning Guide - Montessori Practical Life

The Wooden Cleaning Guide is a classic Montessori aid for sweeping exercises. It gives the child a clearly defined working area and helps concentrate movements while gathering dust or small debris.

How it is used: The teacher places the guide on the floor. The child sweeps particles into the semicircular opening, keeping all debris within the boundary. When the area inside the guide is clean, the child carefully transfers the collected debris into a dustpan. This supports control of movement, order, and real contribution to Care of the Environment.
