"Because Practical Life Exercises
are meant to resemble everyday activities, it is important that all
materials be familiar, real, breakable, and functional. The materials
must also be related to the child’s time and culture. In order to allow
the child to fully finish the exercise and to therefore finish the full
cycle of the activity, the material must be complete.
In the environment, the Directress may want to color code
the materials as well as arrange the materials based on difficulties in
order to facilitate the classification and arrangements of the work by
the children.
The attractiveness is also of utmost importance as
Montessori believed that the child must be offered what is most
beautiful and pleasing to the eye so as to help the child enter into a
“more refined and subtle world."
