Translations:Exercises of Practical Life (Montessori)/1/en

From Montepedia

In Montessori education, Exercises of Practical Life constitute one of the four areas of activities in the prepared environment.[1] These exercises are purposeful activities that mimic everyday tasks such as sweeping, dusting, and washing dishes. These tasks aid the child in adapting to their community, developing self-control, and fostering a sense of contributing to the social unit. The child's intellect and personality grow in an integrated manner as they perform these tasks, which engage both body and mind.
