I have to call this post "Round 2" because I first posted this for Bubs and Nito about 4 years ago. See that post here. At least the bells have held up for the next round of kiddos to use them. I still have more up and coming children and I'm sure they will continue to last. Perhaps I will eventually splurge and by the official Montessori bells. They are pretty fancy on a nice stand and have a real damper! Ooh la la. Here is a picture.
Mumbs and T-Man spent an hour working with the bells. It was the first time Mumbs had worked with them. She was really just T-Man's partner, but we won't tell her that!
Here is our set of bells. There are 8 white bells and 5 white bells with black handles, which are the chromatic ones. The matching set is behind and colored brown. We are gradually adding more music materials, but I have to admit that it gets pushed to the back of the line in presentations.
So before we could even start, the toddler had to have her OWN work rug with her OWN bells. I gave her the sharp notes and she didn't know any better.
Mumbs is setting up her bells. She was the ringer.
T-Man sat across the classroom and waited for Mumbs to ring her first bell. His goal was to find the matching sound of the bell that she rang.
He rang each bell and if it didn't match, he placed it in a pile.
T-Man starts to make a pile of his correct pairs.
The two little rascals finally finished and celebrated together!!
