Skills everyday living. Children move from dry pouring to liquid.
Often pitcher used in pouring will be glass, which will
break if dropped. The experience in itself is a basic
lesson in the importance of taking great care. Learning
how to safely clean it up with the helps of one of the
adults in the class is another practical life skill. More
importantly, when pitchers are made of clear glass, the
child can see the liquid that is being poured, which is
very helpful in learning process. Pouring exercise are
always placed on a small tray, which is used to carry the
work from the shelf to the table. This provide a dark
background against which any liquid, etc, can easily be
seen. Cleaning up every last drop of water if spilled is a
key aspect of the activity. The goal is to help the child to
develop order, concrentration, coordination, and
independence.
