Montessori Toys for 4-Year-Olds: Cultivating Curiosity and Independence

Kids at 4 can walk up and down stairs alternating feet. They can hop and balance on one foot for up to five seconds. They can climb the rungs on the ladder of a playground slide and slide down without help. Fine motor skills include drawing a person with a head, arms and legs,and using child-safe scissors to cut paper. Children also begin to copy capital letters, triangles, and squares. They can use a fork and spoon without difficulty. They engage in cooperative play. Cooperative play helps develop sharing, negotiating conflict, learning compromise and problem-solving skills.
