This is one of my favorite seasonal lessons
to do with the children.
Orange pomanders smell divine
AND
require fine motor control.
In a room full of 3-year-olds, what more could you ask for?

First, the child pokes a hole.
Montessori-in-Such makes a classy puncher.
Check it out here.
We prefer to use corn cob holders
with one prong broken off
around here. :)
A push pin or a toothpick would work, too.

The child then pushes a clove
into the hole in the orange.
Repeat as necessary.
I eavesdropped in on X-tine and this particular little one working on the orange pomander in our classroom. The little one asked, "Can I do another one?" X-tine, "Yes." Poke. Push. "Can I do another one?" X-tine, "Yes." Poke. Push. "Can I do anther one?" X-tine, " You can do as many as you'd like!"
And, she did. :)
