"Tying and Untying Bows "
A classic exercise by Maria Montessori, the direct goal of which is to master the ability to tie and untie shoelaces and bows . At the same time, the child learns precise finger movements, sequence of operations and is focused on each step of the work. In this context, tying and untying frames , as well as fastening buttons and buckles, indirectly prepare the child for mastering the writing process.
Material A wooden frame on which two halves of fabric are attached, connected by red and white bows. There are five bows in total.
How to work with the material.
Untying . The child begins to untie the top bow and always works from top to bottom. He takes the ends of the ribbon with both hands and stretches them to the sides. The top bow, and behind it all the others, are untied . Now we will pry up the knots with our index finger, starting from the top one, and moving forward we untie them too . We straighten the ends of the ribbon to the sides and fold back the halves of the fabric to mark that the bows and knots are completely untied .
Tying. Connect the halves of the fabric to the center. Let's take the ends of the top braid and throw them in opposite directions. Index finger
Using your left hand, move the tape and form a large loop from it. With your right hand, wrap the other end of the tape around this loop clockwise and insert it into the hole. Stretch the ends of the tape to the sides. The knot is tied. We will also tie the remaining knots, moving from top to bottom. Now let's start tying the bows. We will do exactly the same as with knots, but we will make narrow loops from the ends of the ribbon, gathered towards the base of the bow. In this case, the second loop is carefully pulled out from under the first and the bow itself is aligned.

Stir the mixture with a spoon until the soap crumbs are completely dissolved in the water. We take out a disposable straw from the package and, lowering one end completely into the bowl, blow (carefully: inhale through the nose and exhale through the straw through the mouth)
.
Watch the formation of beautiful soap bubbles. We draw the children’s attention to the fact that the bubbles should not “run away”
from the bowl; when there are already a lot of bubbles, we take out the tube and simply blow air on the bubbles. They're bursting! At the end of the game, the bowl is washed under the tap and the straw is thrown away.
Didactic games for the development of sensory and fine motor skills of the hands
Didactic game “Magic Book” for the development of sensory and fine motor skills.
I work as a teacher in 1ml. group. In my work I use the “Magic Book” manual. The manual consists of several sheets of 26x30 cm sewn fabric, fastened with Velcro. Each sheet has an applique sewn onto it (there are laces, ribbons, buttons, Velcro, etc., illustrating a particular plot. All sheets can be detached and distributed to children. This makes it possible to organize independent activities for the entire group at once. This game allows you to solve many problems:
- cultivate cognitive interest, perseverance
-develop the ability to examine objects, highlighting their color and shape (unfasten buttons, tear off Velcro items, circle objects, etc.)
-develop fine motor skills, visual perception, attention, memory, coherent speech.
- consolidate knowledge about color.
Children really like this game.
Purpose: Develops the child's thinking, fine motor skills and tactile perception. It has been proven that children who have such toys at their disposal demonstrate better imaginative thinking, memory, and logic. Such children will be more collected and attentive in the future. What is interesting: in this case, development takes place in a relaxed atmosphere (during independent play or in the process of creative, interesting and free play with adults).

Didactic games for children of the first junior group
Didactic games for children 2-3 years old
Didactic game “Pass the Eggs”
This game is for developing motor skills. It is for children 2-3 years old. To make it you will need: a wooden stand, 2 plastic bottles (the bottom of which is round), a spoon and Kinder Surprise eggs. Cut off the top part of the bottle so that children do not get hurt, melt the edge with matches. Attach the bottles to the base using self-tapping screws. Bend the spoon at an angle of 90 degrees. The game is ready. Task: without using your hands, use a spoon to transfer eggs from one jar to another.
And with these spoons we play another game, “Who can catch the most eggs.” A basin of water, buckets (1 per child) and Kinder Surprise eggs. Task: catch an egg with a spoon and put it in a bucket.
Didactic game "Lids"
This game is for developing fine motor skills. For children 2-3 years old. The development of fine motor skills in a child’s hands is important not only for speech development, but also for the overall development of the child. Fine motor skills are the ability to make small movements with your fingers. With age, movements become more complex and more varied. Material: plastic bottles, box, self-adhesive colored paper, multi-colored laces. Choose a sturdy box of the size you need. Cut the top of the bottle (neck) to a height equal to the height of the box. Make holes in the box for the necks of the bottles so that they are screwed in rather than just pushed in, this will make the connection stronger. Select bright lids, make holes in the lids with a hot awl, thread a string, and secure with a knot. Pass the string through the box and, on the other side, attach the second lid in the same way. The number of necks and lids depends on the size of the box and your desire. Cover the box with colored self-adhesive paper. Use bright, rich colors. The game is ready.
Didactic game "Beads"
A game for developing fine motor skills. For children 2-3 years old. In our kindergarten we had a lot of old rings from pyramids. I collected them in a bright box and put colorful laces. To prevent the rings from falling off, I tied a large knot on one side of the lace. At first, children learned to simply string rings onto a string. Then the tasks became more complicated, alternating by color and size. This is the kind of game made from old parts.
