This is a pile of beans. Yes, that's obvious. However, what isn't revealed in a simple bag for .99 cents is the hours of preschool play contained therein. I've always wanted to try this form of learning. For many years I have admired, albeit from a distance, some of the philosophies of Maria Montessori. The texture of beans was to say the least, a very profitable venture.
These two kiddos had a unquenchable curiosity. The days of endless time spent with hands and feet and toys and cups submerged in beans was really is quite amazing. We all took turns pouring waterfalls into plastic buckets. And also picking up many a black and white bean from amongst the rug and floor beyond.
