Extra-curricular Activities:

The very first activities children take part in a Montessori classroom help develop their ability to look after themselves an their surroundings. They can practice dressing skills on specially made frames which allow them to try zips, buttons, bows and buckles. They use little jugs filled with beans or rice and then water to practice pouring; they spoon, scoop, and use tweezers to transfer from one bowl to another. Other activities use scaled down versions of real equipment: brushes and brooms, washing bowls and cloths, shoe cleaning and polishing kits, rolling chapattis, pounding roasted Bengal grams, making rangoli patterns using a frame and even a tiny safe iron and ironing board.
