Montessori Pet Food Pouring

Age Group: 
  • Preschool
Objectives:
  • Students will practice development of small muscle groups.
CDA Competency Standard:  
II.4.2a
  • Activities and materials encourage children of varying abilities to develop their small muscles.

​a. Individual fine motor skills are encouraged through a variety of developmentally appropriate materials and activities.
Materials: 
  • ​3 figurines or stuffed toys to be “pets” (suggested: dog, cat, bunny)
  • Dyed rice, lentils or beads
  • Shallow tray
  • Three small bowls
  • Small scoop
  • Pet Show by Ezra Jack Keats
Procedure: 
  1. Read Pet Show by Ezra Jack Keats, discussing the pets in the book as you go. When finished discuss what pets need to stay happy and healthy.
  2. Place materials in a shallow tray and place on a low shelf for easy student access.
  3. Provide a demonstration of how the materials should be used and stored and invite children to “feed” the pets by pouring the food into their bowls.
Assessment: 
  • Assess children upon the practice of their small motor skills and development of these skills.
Extension:
  • *When pouring becomes easier, try changing the pet "food" to sand or salt and using different tools to pour.
  • *Add an eye dropper, small bottle of water, and a small water dish for each "pet" in addition to the "food."
