Puzzle Work: The girl is working on a wooden puzzle board (inset puzzle with knobs), which develops problem-solving, shape recognition, and logical thinking. Fine Motor Skills: Picking up pieces with small knobs helps strengthen pincer grip (important for writing later). Concentration & Focus: The child is deeply engaged, showing the Montessori principle of absorbed learning through hands-on work. Independence: Sitting on a floor mat and working individually fosters self-discipline and responsibility. Practical Life Skills: The boy in the background seems to be threading or lacing, another activity that refines hand–eye coordination, patience, and sequencing skills. Prepared Environment: Mats define personal workspace, encouraging respect for self and others’ activities.
