10 Montessori practical life activities you can do with your toddler at home | 10 everyday house chores your 2 year old can help you with
Toddlers around 18 - 24 months old love to be around parents and imitate everything you do around the house. Simple chores we do every day can be something exciting and educational practical life activities your toddler will be happy to be involved in.
Things like cleaning up after meals, washing dishes in their functional kitchen, helping out making bed, tidying up their own room, cleaning bed linen with lint roller, collecting shoes, laundry, looking after plants, unloading the dishwasher and mopping the floor.
In fact, there are countless activities you can involve your child. Any houseworks that you do everyday in the house can be something your child will be thrilled to do because they have been observing you doing that for a long time and many times.
In this video I have 10 chores 18-24 months old toddlers can do with you.

My daughter went to a Montessori school. One teacher story was about a toddler who would put her cup of water on the corner of the desk during lunch time. She would accidently knock the cup off the desk, get the mop and bucket and mop up the split water, put the mop and bucket back, refill the cup and put it back on the corner of the desk. She did this twice a day for a week, but then never did it again. I was divorced. The Ex would drop the toddler daughter off with the comment “Oh, thank goodness, now I can get my housework done. I would save my chore until my daughter was present and then involve her. One time I gave her a bucket of water and a sponge, and she would move the dirt around on the wall outside while I was up on the ladder washing the windows. Forty years later, she still has clear fond memories of helping daddy wash the building.

My mother never showed displeasure at doing housework, so I never developed an aversion to it, unless I had something more fun to do. My favorite thing , even when I was tiny, was helping her cook by putting the ingredients in the bowl and mixing. As an adult babysitting my nieces, I let them water the garden in their bathing suits and spend hours at my sink “washing dishes”. They are now both great cooks and gardeners.

My daughter does this with her son, she has even put a play kitchen in their kitchen with snacks and breakfast cereal in one of the play kitchen cupbOrds. In the morning when they all go to breakfast if he wants cereal he gets it all himself and then his muk will get a tiny jug with milk in it and he puts it in the bowl himself. If its toast or oats mum or dad will make it ( obviously). She also does the meal thing with not putting any emphasis on what you need to eat first ...aka main dinner before dessert or cookie before sandwich that type of thing. I was skeptical at first thinking every kid is going for dessert/ sweet stuff first. And there are days where he does do that but he will always eat his meal or lunch afterwards. The mum does have a batchelor in child something that she completed with her paramedic stuff so...she knows 2hat shes doing... Being her parent i really have to stop myself from interferring cause im old school and do things differently lol. Shes written a book about feelings for kids as well, sorry i dont get to brag about how proud i am of her ever... Will stop now.

9:51 I found that mop and bucket and bought it randomly for my first son not long before he turned two - he was so excited! He carried both around everywhere for weeks, even "cleaning" while he was sitting on the potty. Every time I got my mop and bucket out he ran and got his. He's a wild child, the rowdy kind, but he's always been glad to help out with the more physical aspects of housework (just don't ask him to sort the cutlery...)

Every child grows at their own pace...and each has their own capabilities.....as long as the tasks don't become an overwhelming priority and they are having genuine fun, it is fine but there are other things in life that are as important as chores. Let there be a good balance and all should be fine.🙂

@Czadzikable 8 ай бұрын

Why wouldn't a boy be as helpful? Obviously there'll be differences between individual children depending on their personality, development and more skills, but there's absolutely no reason why there would be any difference specifically between boys and girls - pretty sure boys at that age aren't less physically capable than girls.

It's a bit scary, but learning about how to handle when a glass breaks is also a practical life activity! If a glass breaks, a glass breaks, and we learn what to do. ❤ Avoiding the situation doesn't help a child gain confidence for coping with it in the future. That's a big cornerstone of the Montessori philosophy!

Every time I try to sweep the floor with my 2y old daughter she wants to use my broom (she has a little broom but she wants to use what I have on my hand) and at the end she will cry. Did your daughter learnt quickly that she has to use her broom? Any tips?

How do you stop your daughter eating at all the food she has put into her Montessori kitchen? What if she is into an activity that you just aren’t? For example what if she loves football and you don’t? I know she’s only a year old but these passions develop through their personalities… like an interest in music or playing an instrument. Also what if she prefers wearing boys clothes over girls clothes? Do you have boys clothes there for her to explore that? Or do you only provide female clothes only - what if she wants a football jersey or an All Blacks jersey? Hope these questions make sense - I’m really interested in the Montessori method as I work for children in care.

@hazieandmotherhood Жыл бұрын

Hi, okay I will try my best to answer all of your questions. - There are some days when she just won't stop eating her crackers and I'd say the one you're holding is the last one, you had enough. And usually she stops, otherwise I just simply remove the crackers for the time being and we read a book that is about the main character eating too much snack and getting stomach-ache. Then she sort of gets it and she just moves on. - She love love loves reading books and I'm like after reading 5-6 books, twice each at least, I feel like I'm done. I try my best to follow her interests but when I really dont feel like reading anymore then I'll just tell her how I feel. I'd say something like I feel like I read enough for you, why don't you read it on your own for a while, or would you like to do something else with me? - She is a girly girl, loving pink, so I haven't experienced it yet, but I just simply won't give her option of boys outfit at the first place and if she insists on wearing something 'I think' inappropriate, I'd still let her wear what she picks out and she'll have to deal with whatever comments she'll get when she goes to daycare or playground.
