Practical Life Ceramic Cutting a Banana

A quintessential Montessori practical life activity, this banana cutting kit invites the child to engage in meaningful, self-directed work.

The set comprises a smooth wooden tray (30×20×3cm), a safe knife, a cutting board, sturdy tongs, and divided dishes that mirror the order of the exercise itself.

Separate spaces for whole bananas, peels, and slices guide the child through a clear cycle of activity—nurturing focus, fine motor control, and the quiet confidence that comes from completing a task independently.
