Happy child, happy parent! #theguidepostadvantage
“Within the child lies the fate of the future.” ~Maria Montessori I love seeing my girl engaged in her work! Flower arranging is one of her favorites! 🩵 What is it? A special “Flower Arranging Table” containing collection of tiny bud vases; a collection of doilies; a vase of flowers; a special pitcher and funnel for filling the vases; and a beautiful flowered tray to use as a work surface. The child puts on an apron to protect his clothes. He choose the flower and the vase he would like to work with, then goes to the sink to get a small amount of water. He pours the water carefully into the vase using the funnel, and places the flower in the vase, checking to make sure the stem is touching the water. He selects a doily to place under the vase, and finds a spot in the classroom to make more beautiful with his arrangement! 🩵 Why do we do it? To show how to arrange flowers; to develop an appreciation for flowers; to give the child a sense of ownership and pride in caring for shared community spaces; to aid in the development of functional independence. 🩵 How to help at home? At home, your child can participate in choosing flowers and displaying them in a beautiful vase. #montessori #education #guidepostmontessori #proudmontessorimom
