Montessori Monday- Hawaii (part 2)

We were practicing last week with lots of Sensorial activities using a Hawaii theme!

• Sorting by colors or by shapes. (I cut a necklace from the Dollar Store; got 3 for $1) I can use them as counters, too!

• Pincer grasp practice with marbles inside a Hawaiian dress.

• Sorting flamingoes with tongs. (Ok, flamingoes aren’t from Hawaii but found them in all the stuff I bought so why not to use them?)

 

• Inserting flowers on sticks. (These are from a Lei necklace that I broke in order to make Pinky’s flowers bracelets) She has to pass the stick thru the hole in the center of the flower.

• Matching sandpaper numbers with the corresponding amount of rocks.

• Clothespin and birds!

• Inserting wood beads on pipe cleaners. (This is suppose to be a palm tree with coconuts. I just took 2 sticks, put a brown pipe cleaner around and them 2 green ones.)

• Language- Tracing letters with crayons

• Art- Painting with yarn, bottle caps, toothpicks, etc. Also, painting a flower on canvas.

 

• Sensory box- Hawaiian style! With buttons I found at Michaels and the rocks are from our fish bowl (Yes, I washed them very well before using them).

Now that I am looking at the pictures, I think we did plenty of activities for our Hawaiian theme…..the truth is that we were having too much fun with it!

Therefore, we still have Hawaii part 3!!!
