App Description
"The exercises of practical life are formative activities. They involve inspirations, repetition, and concentration on precise details. They take into account the natural impulses of special period of childhood. Though for the moment the exercises have no merely practical aims, they are a work of adaptation to the environment therein is the very essence of a useful education".
(What you should know about you child by Maria Montessori)
This app contains six lovely Montessori puzzles: 3 multiple part puzzles (toys, space objects, jungle animals) and 3 jigsaws (a castle, a teddy with a ball, a dragon).
Their design has been carefully developed to help with the cognitive ability to separate elements based on contrast, known as the figure-ground concept.
Your infant will enjoy removing the pieces and placing them back, giving them an educational activity that will build self-confidence, self-esteem and increase concentration.
Through early experiences with these puzzles, children can develop many useful skills: refining movement, completing a cycle of activity, carrying out logical steps in order, solving problems.
How to play Puzzle Monte using the Montessori method:
1. Choose a puzzle.
2. Tap the picture using your pointer finger.
3. Drag and drop the picture with your finger to match the silhouette.
4. Offer your child a turn.
5. Use a “home” button to quit.
Everything a child sees, listens to and touches contributes to their learning.
Ages: 1+
