Description
I’m running some Montessori “crafternoons” at The Parlour in Muswell Hill Books, focusing on practical school readiness skills and fine motor skill practice.
There will be a range of crafts and activities available to choose from, and offered in a welcoming and calm space, with a focus on what your future reception teacher will value and find helpful. Plus, anything crafts you make with your little reception starter, you can take home!
As an experienced Montessori guide, I will be around and available to discuss any queries you may have in this important transition period.
Activities will include:
- Cutting and holding scissors, and following along a line
- Ruler skills and line following, holding a pencil & a ruler in different hands
- Tripod grip and strength to hold a pencil, correct placement and strength to write
- Button, zip & popper fastening practice (to help with coats and independent dressing)
- Use of tongs to support hand-eye coordination, pincer grip and transferring skills
- Play-Doh and tools to promote hand muscle strength
- Pouring (dry and wet) to help with depth perception and hand-eye coordination
- Tap Tap pin boards to support hand-eye coordination
- Holding books the correct way and turning pages carefully
- Threading to support manipulative skills
- Puzzles to encourage hand-eye coordination and problem-solving
