Montessori Practical Life: Spooning

Montessori practical life helps the child to become independent by practicing important every day skills.
One of the Montessori practical life activities is called Spooning, where the child learns to spoon dry beans from one bowl to the other and then back again. Montessori spooning helps the child to learn balance, improve gross motor control, increase patience and concentration, and also improve the pencil grip; a pre-cursor to writing.
Please visit The Wonderful World of Montessori website, where you can learn more about how to present Montessori practical life spooning, as well as all the other Montessori presentations.

    I really wonder about the part where you wrote "If the child can't do the activity, we gently stop them and they can try another day". What is the difference between "not correcting them" and stopping them? How exactly do you do that and why?

    I'm currently studying to get my Montessori certification, so I hope you don't mind me giving my take on it. The difference lies in the type of errors the child is making. They can either be error in execution, or error in intention. If the child is making errors in execution of the activity, for example, holding the spoon in a way that makes it hard to scoop up the beans, don't point this out to them. Let them figure it out on their own. These sorts of mistakes actually help them learn, so let them make them without interrupting! You'll notice in the video that the instructor was able transfer the beans without spilling them, but the child spills a couple due to quicker, less coordinated movements. The instructor does not point this out at all to child, or tell her to go slower, although she does remind her to pick the stray beans up after the activity. Then there are errors in intention. Let's say you demonstrate to the child what the materials are for, and they grab the spoon and declare, "This is my magic wand!" They are not using the material for it's intended purpose, so you gently stop the activity and put it away for another time when they are ready to use the materials as intended. At least, that is my interpretation of those written parts in the video.

    Was wondering if the child’s dominant hand is right but teacher is left handed .. does the teacher attempt to do lesson with right hand?
