E loves sorting activities!

We collected leaves, moss, and berries on our walk yesterday. Matched colors from the watercolor set and attempted to paint each item and glue it beside.

Sometimes he doesn't want to participate in certain activities and that's okay. He did watch me do my piece of nature art and we talked about the colors 😊

E's first flower arrangement is one week old 💜

"… in every child is the seed that will mature into an adult.”
—The Theosophist, Maria Montessori

At some given moment it happens that the child becomes deeply interested in a piece of work; we see it in the expression on his face, his intense concentration, the devotion to the exercise.

—The Discovery of the Child, Maria Montessori
