I feel like maybe it’s a little boy thing - I have an 18 month old boy too and no way he’d sit still for any of these things! If he can’t smash it, eat it or run around doing it he’s not interested 😂

Keep in mind that Ashley is only going to film the best example of her kids participating in the activity to share, because this is meant to be showing others how it can be used. I'm sure that there are times when the kids don't play properly, bit that isn't going to make it into a video!

Same! My son gets angry if a block doesnt enter the shape 😅 and he starts to cry and throw/hit.
List of the activities for easy future reference: - Block Towers - Box with a sliding lid - Locks and latches - Multi-shape peg puzzle - Matryoshka dolls - Nuts and bolts - Open and close the basket - Threading - Shape sorter - Pegboard - Kinetic sand - Playdough - Walk outdoors - Object to picture matching - Dry transfer with a spoon - Dry pouring - Sponging - Set pouring pitcher to pitcher - Set pouring pitcher to glass - Wiping a table - Dusting - Mopping - Watering a plant - Hanging a coat - Choosing a pair of shoes - Taking off shoes - Putting away shoes I hope this helps you quickly refer to these activities after seeing the video.
Well I just kept my 18 month old busy for an hour with a tray and a ton of lentils. Thanks!
Sweeping using a mini broom, helping vacuum or mop, helping hang the laundry or take it back in when it’s dry, helping making breakfast (easy tasks like peel a banana, pour oats in a bowl, carry his breakfast to the dining table), helping fix things (for example holding something and observing while we fix), pouring out the kibbles for our cat and dog morning and evening (we told him he’s in charge of feeding his 2 siblings), playing with the cat using a fishing rod style cat toy, packing or unpacking a bag or suitcase, asking him to bring something to someone (look bring this thing to Mummy in the office)…
I loved where she was pouring and stopped to drink some water. Really shows that this is a practical life activity.

@@erinpzk the beans would have been all over the floor, under the couch, in every cupboard, in baby's bed, in my bed, and 5 years from now I would still be finding them in random places 🤣
So glad you label these so clearly in event we want to refer back to one or refer one to someone else for viewing. It is so refreshing to see a parent allowing a child to do their own problem-solving without letting them get completely frustrated. I think Mia is better at the towers than I would be. Has she discovered her shadow yet and reacted to it at all? Loved it when she was running after Kylie. Don't let your older sibling out of your sight, if you can help it. Loved how she checked in the watering can at the end to be sure it was empty. Hanging up her jacket and getting her shoes off and put away were really impressive. She did very well.
I love how Mia is so focused and attentive with all the tasks you give her. My daughter will be turning 16 months on the 21st and all she loves to do is cause mass destruction lol

Ashley, I can't thank you enough for all the videos you share with the world! My daughter is 14 months old today so it is so nice having a guide!
My 14mo old is still at the everything-goes-in-mouth stage yet, but your channel has given me great ideas on how to challenge him!
Can't get enough of Mia's cuteness ❤
Great video. I have been using solid coloured womens bangles and a mug tree with the children. They love putting the bangles on each hook.
How do you keep her from putting everything in her mouth? I try and do play dough, crayons and water painting with my fourteen almost fifteen month old and it’s more an exercise where I’m constantly trying to redirect the stuff away from his mouth before giving up and lacking the activity up!
شكرا جزيلا على مشاركتنا هذه الألعاب التي تنمي قدرات الطفل البدنية و العقلية و الأهم أنها غير مكلفة ، سأقوم بها مع فراشتي الصغيرة، تحياتي من الجزائر 🇩🇿
I’m so glad I found your channel when you where pregnant with Mia . It’s been such a blessing finding your channel and taking on your advise . Lol you should see my family’s eyes when my son does something they couldn’t believe he could do on his own . You’ve game me so much confidence! Thank you
I love Thursdays for a new Montessori at home video!!
I love how you show your children playing with the toys.
Love the "pinky out" Mia is doing during the dry pouring. So cute!
Hi Ashley! I'm a RIE based early childhood teacher with an interest in Montessori. A lot of the traditional teachings of Montessori I find are a bit too rigid for me, but man do I love Practical Life! Because it teaches children those life skills that they need to be empowered and independent. I think of RIE as the sister philosophy to Montessori, just with a more imaginative play based outlook and flexibility perhaps. We do all of these activities in your video in our classroom as part of our respectful curriculum. I love love your Montessori at Home series!
My son just turned 15 months old and realizes we need new activities, back to your channel, but I can't believe how fast my son is growing! I started watching your channel when I was looking up 3-6 month old activities 😭😭😭
By far one of my favorite series you do!!! So many wonderful ideas, and lots to learn. Thanks for being a great example Ash!!❤
Loved this video. These are some really great ideas. Thank you so much! Can’t wait to try these with my almost 15 month old.
omg...she is so smart and the dexterity of her hands ..amaxing
I love the way babies turn things in their hands.
Amazing, it shows that Montessori works when done well. Thank you Ashley for sharing and teaching me sooo much.
A wonderful representation of Montessori in the home! I very much enjoyed the inclusion of skills being used/acquired in the notes in the video. Great job utilizing items easily found in a store/online (ie: the locks and latches board). You do not need expensive things to provide a great Montessori environment in your home!
Been watching your videos since I was pregnant a little over a year ago. I studied child development in college got my BA and you really just helped by demonstrating and giving ideas on what I do could to teach my child. Thank you so much!!

When she wipes up the spills. She is the cutest!!!
For presentations especially language ones, i strongly suggest leading with real objects first and omitting the matching cards as that can be really abstract for the child. I can see that your toddler can follow the rhythm of a work cycle but it is important to start with real objects followed by replicas (omitting matching cards) at first to analyse language level and skills and while doing that, it is important to sit with the child, to present how this is done and then walk away. Great Job implementing so many psycho sensory motor activities!!
Thank you so much. I have three kiddies, 5.5, 3.5 and 1.5 and in the business of life I sometimes forget my littlest one. This is a wonderful reminder of what I can do with her. All the best to you and your beautiful family.
I like the way she is playing by herself

Thank you sooo much! Some she already does just by seeing me cleaning! But other ideas very good with everyday items almost!!
Love the shapes puzzles with the faces
She is so right, I like they way she shares with us how she handle her toddlers. My videos are for toddlers to preschoolers learning videos

I am 26 and vividly remember my later 2s and all of my 3s. Montessori was a highlight for me. I especially needed a space that was calming, because my home wasn’t always child friendly. I appreciate all the memories I made there, and especially remember feelings of understanding and patience from Montessori teachers. Would adopt all of this for my future family. Thank you so much for these videos, they are inspirational and practical.
Shes so smart thanks to her amazing mom
This was so peaceful. Thanks for including so much footage of Mia! I loved when she drank out of the pitcher. She was like “ This is water! It’s for drinking!” lol 😆

I have four one year old girls at daycare, there’s not very many videos for daycare teachers but Thank you for sharing your ideas!It’s also harder to do activities with four children at once because they all want to play with the same thing.
Your baby is so precious and brilliant!!! Great job!!!😍😍😍😍
I love how she’s concentrating. My younger one is only a month less from mia and he also focus and do jao activities, however he’s also in the trajectory schema of throwing. So I have put away all the wooden toys. Now I don’t know how to let him explore. Secondly my year old won’t leave my 15 month old to explore and focus at all!!! I can’t keep them separately. As I have only one big space downstairs. I am testing to teach my older to not intervene however she just won’t understand and in fact feels I am focusing and paying more attention on him.

I tried having my 15 mo old son use a spoon to transfer beans into glass bowls. He gave up on the spoon idea and just used his hands! haha I also just order the Ikea table and chairs :) Thanks for all the helpful ideas.
My kid is fascinated by new things... can't wait to try some of these. Of course, once the newness has worn off (after maybe a week) she's back to bouncing around from activity to activity in 3.5 seconds, and then getting into literally everything that she's not allowed to get into (Grandma's cupboards, the pantry, the pretties in the parlor, climbing on the table to try to watch TV on my computer, etc) Guess I just need to figure out a better routine for her...
Awww this is so awesome . My baby would just eat everything.
This made for a fantastic speech lesson for my 3 year old. She keeps asking "what’s the baby doing" then repeats what I say"the baby is ___". It always amazes me how advanced those girlies are. 💖 my 18mo isn’t there yet for most of these
