Mix Up Some Glitter!

A fun work offered in our practical life area of our Montessori classroom


This is a quick and simple activity I have done with ages two and up, and it's great for the fine motor skills.  All you need is a bowl with water, a whisk, and a touch of glitter sprinkled in the water.  Give a lesson and show the kids how to use a whisk first, and let them stir up the glitter for fun.  


We added some food coloring, and the kids enjoyed observing and getting a closer look at the colors in motion.
