It's been mentioned before but my sons (2,4,6) are loving shucking corn this spring. (And eating it, too!)

I wonder why you don't see this in any typical Montessori albums... maybe the teachers writing them aren't from the midwest!

Great idea! I'll be incorporating that when we get some corn.

Corn has so much potential for so many activities. We're growing some popcorn this year...happy to say the seeds are coming up.

I also keep some ears of Indian corn as a ready-made activity -- tweezers and a container, and ds takes the kernels off. He loves to do it.

My oldest liked to pick corn and shuck it last summer at grandma's house. I can't wait. Yum!

This is definitely fun! I think it's not included in the typical Montessori albums because it's practical life and those are so culturally-based - every culture has their own particular ones - though some are so typical that they are generally included.

I didn't teach preschool in a Montessori classroom, but we did a lot of corn shucking in my classroom - it was always a hit!
