  • Your hand coordination is too fast. You should go very slowly and not make a lot of noise when you pick up the bowl and put it down. Speaking as a Montessori teacher.

  • Let not do this stupid activity and say we did

  • LOL I can quote her :)) ''always,finish...what you start.''

  • Not an excellent example of hand-eye coordination.

    Didnt your college teach you about exactness of movement ?

    In addition to this, the metal cup used to soop the "sharks-teeths" in it is too wide for the tray, I would rethink the choice of materials and how to present it.

  • try rice or beans

  • The video is good. I wish I could see what is inside the bowls. Thank you for the video!

  • Motor skills are skills that have to do with muscle movements like, running, walking, jumping,etc. These are called gross motor skills. And with hand movements, like picking up a pencil or a pen, beads or anything that involves fingers. These are called fine motor skills. Hope it answered your question! Good luck!

  • what are moter skills anyways??

  • since this is a practical life activity i know for a fact you should do these activities broken down into steps rather than at an adult's usual pace because children especially if they have just been introduced to this method of transferring may not know how to transfer this way without spilling anything (teeth)
