I've been inspired by the Montessori approach to learning, development and independence. It's made me give Otis opportunities to learn that I wouldn't have thought to do at such a young age. He absolutely thrives on it. If you've read the Continuum Concept you can see how this fits into human nature and design so perfectly.
Learning to peel his own banana
Mixing soil to get our mushroom kit growing
He loves to help with jobs, the dishwasher is one of his favourites
Using everyday crockery and utensils
Learning to use a straw and open cup
Learning to roll out pastry. He got this first time and was doing it independently. He's only 13 months old in this picture.
