What a great help you have been to me. I’ve been trying to come up with more ways for my Little Bean to help in the kitchen. I never thought of using a melon baller or making “ants on logs”. Thank you.

In reply to John Bowman. Thanks John! So nice of you to stop by! Your Montessori At Home! book has been an inspiration for us.

Excellent post, great activities and ideas showing how practical life skills can be a part of everyday life around the house. Home can actually be a better place for learning these skills than a Montessori school! It just takes a bit of time and patience, but what a payoff in children’s lives! Thanks for mentioning Montessori At Home!, glad the eBook provided inspiration.

I’m loving this idea. I bake with my grand daughter but she would love these learning activities.

In reply to Kim. It definitely isn't always quicker or more convenient, but it is definitely so important for their development. And they just feel so important to get to help out too!

Great list! I’ve started letting my 3 year old set the table and she is so happy to help. It’s so important to give our children these opportunities, even when it’s not the most convenient thing to do!
