See themselves
as a member of
the group
Move carefully
Focus
Complete
sequential steps

•
•
•
•

Concentrate
Make intelligent
choices
Persevere
Gain a better

The Montessori
Approach
Guide to using clay in the
classroom
Why Clay?
 Helps

children develop control and
coordination through handling
 Helps develop fine motor skills and muscles
 Pre-Cursor for developing skills for cutting.
Develops appropriate hand and finger control
and builds appropriate hand muscles
Children learn that
every material has
a purpose, and are
able to explore that
material within a
controlled
environment.
"It was not the method which
produced the great changes in the
children, so much as it was the
great changes in the children
which produced the method."
—Maria Montessori
―Working Freely Within Limits‖
 Children

determine a
goal or objective for
working with the
material
 Children explore and
create while building
fine motor muscle
control

 Teacher

provides
clay materials and
environment
necessary for
children to obtain
their goal.
 Create

an animal
or bug observed
 Learn geographic
structures through
creating model
geographic land
plots
 Creating and
exploring shapes

Possible Activities
Montessori approach to clay use
at home and in the classroom
At our Clay Center…
Look at the pictures of different animals (in a real
Montessori classroom, we would have actual bugs
instead of pictures).
Then learn through creating!

This demonstrates use of a science lesson
learning about bugs through Montessori
approach
