Just a Bowl of Beans

Here is a simple Montessori pouring activity with beans.  First we start pouring beans from the cup in the right hand into the cup in the left hand.  Then do the reverse.  This helps with concentration, hand and eye coordination, and hand control.  Addi also likes the feel of the beans as she runs her hands through the big bowl.  Sometimes she will try and sort a handful of beans by color but then realizes how many there actually are.  Ha ha.
