Learning to Pour: A Presentation.

Watch as this yet to be three year old boy engages with a pouring presentation from Ms. Wood. She presents the material, carefully and methodically, using deliberate motions and exaggerated gestures.

As adults, we're used to doing things quickly, mainly to accomplish the task, and to "get things done". For children, however, they're looking to master their movements, and refine their coordination.

When presenting, it's important to break down the process, so the children understand what's happening. It's not about the product, but about the assemblages of components.

Everything is new for children, and the enjoy learning new tasks. Watch his joy and enthusiasm, not only observing Ms. Wood, but when he actively participates in the exercise!
