Montessori Polishing Activity

Watch, as this three year old student polishes a brass basket. Materials are positioned throughout the classroom, and children are free to choose which ever object they wish to polish. More often than not, the children “think that the objects are dirty and need to be cleaned”. Note her impeccable concentration as she methodically applies polish to the brass and proceeds to get it spotless.
