Old-Fashioned Wooden Washing Board – Montessori Practical Life
This beautifully crafted old-fashioned wooden washing board is a classic Montessori material used in the Practical Life area for washing cloths. Made of solid beech wood, it gives children a real-life experience of how clothes were traditionally washed, helping them connect with meaningful, purposeful work.
How it is used: The teacher demonstrates how to scrub a small cloth gently up and down the ridged surface, rinse it, and hang it to dry. The rhythmic motion and visible results make this activity deeply satisfying and soothing while refining control of movement and coordination.
This timeless tool promotes independence, concentration, and Care of the Environment, allowing children to take pride in keeping their materials clean and well cared for.
