Plastic is cool

Even with my Montessori background, surrounded by beautiful wooden equipment, I still like plastic. It’s not wrong to use good quality plastic dishes or toys. Legos and capsela are self-teaching toys made from plastic. My children made wonderful machines on land and in the water with their capsela sets. I first bought my 2 year olds the large Duplo legos and then progressed to the smaller legos using a lego building plate. Legos are even used in robotics classes at our local university.

If you have only plastic pitchers for pouring exercises, just use them. The activity of pouring without spilling is the object of this practical life activity. Respect for your child comes from your attitude towards him or her, not what type of dishes or toys you use.
