So, what exactly makes an activity a Montessori Learning Activity?
- Child-directed: learning becomes self-motivated when a child has freedom to choose
- Hands-on: children learn through experience
- Multi-sensory: children hone their senses to learn about the world
- Foster independence: children gain confidence and pride when they complete an activity themselves
- Emphasize concentration: children can develop concentration and attention to detail as they repeat the works
- Promote critical thinking: children move from concrete to more abstract concepts and have the tools they need to analyze their own work.
