Pounding in Steel

The Pounding Activity Set is a Montessori Practical Life material designed to give children hands-on experience with one of the most common household tasks. Using a child-sized steel pounding set, children can pound soft or hard items such as pulses pounding, grains, or channa pounding, learning to apply different levels of pressure. Children love doing the Channa Pounding Activity, in fact this is the first activity that most children want to do when they come to school everyday. After they have done the channa pounding activity, children sit down and eat the channa they have pounded.

This activity refines hand–eye coordination, wrist movement, and motor control while providing an engaging sensory experience. By recreating real-life tasks in a child-friendly environment, the pounding activity builds confidence, independence, and responsibility in daily life skills.
