Preliminary: Folding, Opening & Closing, Spooning & Pouring

Squeezing a Sponge Activity is one of the classic Montessori Practical Life exercises that children love. It teaches important concepts such as wet and dry, full and empty, while developing coordination and hand strength.

Through careful observation and repetition, children discover how a sponge absorbs and releases water. This simple, calming activity promotes concentration, control of movement, and independence. It also strengthens the muscles of the hand and wrist, preparing the child for writing.

The set includes:

• 2 glass bowls
• 1 natural sponge
• 1 white tray for presentation

Perfect for children aged 3–5 years, both at home and in the classroom.

Spooning Set is a classic Montessori Practical Life activity that helps children develop concentration, coordination, and control of movement. Using a small spoon to transfer materials from one bowl to another strengthens the wrist and prepares the hand for writing.

Children love this simple yet satisfying exercise. They practice careful hand movements, learn to avoid spills, and experience the calm rhythm of repetition. It also nurtures independence and pride in purposeful work.

The set includes:

• 1 small-size plastic tray (9.8 x 7.5 inches)
• 2 small porcelain dishes (4.5D x 2.5H inches)
• 1 porcelain spoon

Preliminary: Pouring Water with Funnel is a classic Montessori Practical Life activity that refines coordination, concentration, and control of movement. Children love the challenge of carefully pouring water through a small funnel without spilling, learning precision and patience through repetition.

This activity introduces early scientific concepts such as full and empty, flow, gravity, and absorption. It naturally prepares children for future science experiments and sensory exploration, helping them observe cause and effect while working independently and carefully.

The set includes:

Once children have mastered the basics, give them many opportunities to refine their skills in new ways.

 This exercise presents pouring from one glass to three different glasses.
