At Home Montessori Monday
By implementing a sound jar tray in your Montessori inspired home, your child will be able to strengthen their matching, classifying, and listening skills. To utilize this tray, children will work to listen to the sound of a red jar and find the matching blue jar with the same sound. To create a version of this Montessori tray in your own home: 1. Purchase or identify a matching set of containers in your own home you can use (i.e. empty and washed spice containers or plastic eggs) 2. Create two separate color sets of containers that can not be seen through either by utilizing pre-colored containers, wrapping containers in construction paper or painting. 3. Fill one of each color container with the same sound material (i.e. dried beans, dried rice, bells, beads, bolts, etc.). 4. Secure the lid with hot glue. 5. Place the materials on a tray like the one shown above. To learn more about setting up Montessori materials in your home, visit our blog at https://www.amicimontessori.org/blog 6. Model the work for your child and then allow your child to explore matching the corresponding container sounds with guidance as needed. #montessori #montessoriathome #amicimontessori #music Happy At-Home Montessori Monday!

The cards can be utilized to practice color correspondence and recognition in a variety of ways such as utilizing tweezers to sort pom poms by color, graphing math manipulatives, such as counting cubes by color, or separating fruit loops by color for an educational lesson that is also a sweet treat! To create this At-Home Montessori activity:
