Straw Broom – Montessori Practical Life
This lightweight Montessori straw broom with a bamboo handle is made from natural, eco-friendly materials. Perfectly sized for young children, it allows them to practice real sweeping movements with a tool that feels and looks just like an adult one — but designed for their small hands.
Children love using the straw broom to keep their classroom or home environment tidy. Sweeping activities help develop concentration, balance, coordination, and independence — key goals of the Practical Life area in Montessori education.
How it is used: The teacher demonstrates how to hold the broom correctly and sweep in smooth, rhythmic motions toward one spot. The child then practices collecting all the dust or leaves into a small pile before using a dustpan. This exercise refines movement control, teaches order, and supports Care of the Environment.
This practical, natural broom encourages independence and gives children a sense of pride in meaningful, purposeful work.
