We continued our Montessori kick this week. Uncle Joe brought over an old spice rack thinking we might re-purpose them for something else. He was right. I had been looking for something to hold some noises.

We did pairs of sounds. Rice, pennies, pasta, beads. I changed the pasta into spaghetti for a more distinct sound.

Lou began painting:

She painted one before becoming bored and I painted the rest. We left the bottoms clear so we could check what was in which glass.

Uncle Joe was impressed.

Here is a nice video on how to do this sound cylinders Montessori activity.

It was a lot of fun for Lou to do, but I am not sure if she will be going back to it much. Been there, done that kind of activity. We’ll see…
