Inspired by the beautiful blog Teaching Montessori (so sweet & simple - just full of wonderfully displayed Montessori activities. This lady has a brilliant eye! And if only my posts were so perfectly succinct ;) I saved the watermelon seeds from the watermelons that we grew and introduced our first tweezing exercise. 
It's been one of Lovely's favourite activities ever since. I love watching his concentration :)
Yesterday, he started scooping the seeds out of the bowl with his hand & I was so tempted to stop him but didn't and then discovered that he had turned his closed fist into a raincloud and was gently 'raining' with the seeds.
A diversion, yes, but a wonderful one me thinks :)
Oh, I know those moments so well... I am just about to 'correct' when I realize that a whole different thinking is going on. Teaches us to have faith...
