Oh wow. Your little ones sound so adorable. I bet they bring you much joy. The different personalities must be such a pleasure to keep education fun and interesting.
Ah, yes. Washing dishes has been a perfect activity for my toddler as well. It is the most obvious activity that consumes his concentration. He also loves to wash his cars and animals – giving them a “bath”. We have also discovery shifting flour. Hope I can find more that are as consuming for him. 🙂
Hi Lady Lilith, Having two different personalities definitely keeps it fun!

Adrienne, I’m so glad washing has been such a hit with your child, too. They also wash their scooters, rain boots and and bikes. Pretty much any outdoor equipment! I read about someone tweezing raw corn off a cob and then using it to make necklaces. I think I may try that today…

Hi!
You can’t believe how glad I am that I’ve found your blog. Today I looked up “montessori twins” because I’ve been feeling so frustrated and overwhelmed trying to implement a Montessori way of raising my twin baby girls. They are 16 months old (14 months corrected), not walking yet, and completely different from each other. One can focus for a large period of time doing things from beading, colouring, putting coins in her piggy bank… The other one just follows me around all day long.
i’m going to explore your posts… I think the answer is here!
Thank you.
Hope this finds you well.

I completely agree with the power of practical life- my beefy wild child has been into it since the day he could crawl, still is as a 2 1/2 year old…but suddenly he loves building- blocks, legos, everything! Tantrums bigger than I thought at this age,;)! But referring back to your comment about such things as legos, ,etc…being less than practical life (just my perception in my mood of living with an almost 3 year old, not hatin’ at all) I’m wondering- as we follow the child, there’s still some value and importance to this, yes? (The obsession of building over making dinner and cleaning that he has done sone wonderfully until now that is;)
