Wet Pouring

Wet pouring is one of the early basic Montessori Practical Life Works. A child typically does wet pouring after dry pouring. A child would have mastered the Use of a Sponge work before being introduced to wet pouring. You could create your own wet pouring work or purchase the water pouring work from Montessori Services. You'll need 2 small pitchers. See through pitchers are preferred because a point of interest for the child is seeing the colored water. You'll need a tray and a sponge for spills. 

Ava has had a lot of practice with wet pouring. She was demonstrating for her sister, Lucy.

Make sure to include a sponge to wipe up any spills. 

Lucy trying her hand at wet pouring. Lots of spills but she truly enjoyed herself.
