We started doing this activity just before I read Montessori at Home. It's in there too. Anyway, here's the how to:
Materials Needed: collection of old batteries, battery tester (~$6 at Depot), cards that say yes, no, and low, foam or paper-lined lipped tray or cookie sheet, bowl, mat. (last three aren't shown in pic, just my dirty bedroom carpet...gross)
1. Collect batteries from your junk drawers and place in bowl on cookie sheet with tester and cards. Put whole tray on mat.
2. Show child how to lay out the cards on the mat and test each battery.
3. Place battery in correct column.
4. Show child how to return batteries to the bowl and replace items on tray.
