Transferring is a staple activity in the Montessori preschool/kindergarten classroom. Students develop their fine motor skills, eye hand coordination, focus and concentration while transferring small objects from one bowl or small container to another. These activities can start with simple transferring by hand and evolve to complex activities that involve several steps.
These small actions form the basis of many of our daily chores. They will give your child the skills to do other practical life activities like cooking, cleaning, flower arranging, etc Mastering the art of pouring water enables children to get a drink for themselves or serve one to someone else. With every learned skill their independence and self confidence grows.

Great add-on: our Montessori Flower arranging set!
