Once children have mastered the basics, give them additional opportunities to refine their skills in new ways. This activity allows children to pour liquid or grain from one decanter to another.
Developed by an experienced Montessori teacher, this pouring extension & variation presents a unique, isolated challenge.
I purchased this item for my granddaughter who is 2 yrs. 3 mos. I had offered her pouring exercises in the past and knew she would be interested. I like the decanter shape, which she could grasp much easier than small pitchers with handles. We used it for lentil pouring, but she asked for water to pour as well. Then she wanted to pour lentils into a bowl from one decanter and spoon them back into another--great versatility! The sponge looks like a normal sponge in the photo, but is really a very thin, almost paper-like blotter--not a big deal.
