Flower arrangement is one of the Practical Life lessons that help children develop their gross and fine motor skills, concentration, self-regulation, control of movement, coordination and sense of aesthetics.
Physical activity has lots of health benefits for children.
It:
1. Strengthens children’s bones, muscles, hearts and lungs.
2. Improves children’s coordination, balance, posture and flexibility.
3. Helps children stay at a healthy weight.
Physical activity also boosts children’s well-being. For example, active children are more likely to:
a. Be confident and feel like they belong.
b. Be relaxed and sleep well.
c. Concentrate better at school.
d. Get along with others and make friends quickly.
e. Share, take turns and cooperate.
Jumping rope is also an excellent motor skill-building activity. Since kids have to pick up their feet simultaneously while jumping rope, it builds bilateral motor coordination. Jumping rope for beginners also takes a lot of concentration, which helps kids hone their ability to focus.
Swinging forward with their legs tucked up helps children improve and develop the correct posture. They will also improve body strength at the same time. In the meantime, they also train to attain complete control over their balance and hand-eye coordination.
“The teacher’s task is not to talk, but to prepare and arrange a series of motives for cultural activity in a special environment made for the child.” Maria Montessori
Playing musical instruments, like any skill, takes time to master. Children will enjoy the sense of achievement from learning through play as they can gradually repeat familiar tunes or patterns or maintain a steady rhythm.
“Just as we have to prepare a special environment for sport, like a tennis court, if we are to play tennis, the child must be given the means for the kind of exercise necessary for his life. The small child must have the opportunity for movement. ” – Maria Montessori
