Practical Life Exercises

For young children, there is something special about tasks that an adult considers ordinary-- washing dishes, paring vegetables, polishing shoes, etc. These are exciting to children because they allow them to imitate adults. Imitation is one of the strongest urges during children's early years.

In this area of the classroom, children: perfect their coordination and refine their motor control; learn grace and courtesy; learn to care for themselves and their environment; lengthen their span of concentration; pay attention to details; learn good working habits as they finish each task and put away all the materials before beginning another activity.
