Clothespins - simple

One of the simplest things...opening and closing close pins on the side of a bowl.  Another basic skill in the Practical Life section of the Montessori curriculum.  This skill helps to develop the finger muscles for writing.  Here they are performing it.  Amazing what a difference 20 months makes in a young life...Paige has it mastered.  Hailey clips them off the bowl fine, but replaces them upside down.  She'll get it!
