Boy 2.3 had started an “Introduction to Preschool” at the one of our local schools the week before the Stay Home orders. He was absolutely loving attending his classes 3 times a week for 2 hours each session. I felt the need to implement homeschooling activities in his life while the schools were out. This activity was my attempt to mimic a staple activity in the Montessori curriculum. I had seen the explanation of this activity in all of the Montessori school tours I have attended.

This activity helps children with their fine motor skills, focus, and concentration.

In this activity we have used two containers, one of them being a pitcher style of container. There are different materials that can be transferred, like water, sand, or a small object. In our case, Blake was transferring beads from one container to the next.
