may i ask where you got your tray and bowls that you are using for your pistachios work? they are beautiful! and, love that idea for snack!! scwells03@gmail.com
I find most of my trays and containers at yard sales and second hand stores. I'm pretty sure the bowls were once part of a salad bowl set and the tray was from a bathroom vanity set.
After reading about the clothes pins on another Montessori site, I bought some for my kids for Christmas from the Dollar Tree. Since then, a favorite activity for the now 24 month old is having me or the older kids fasten the pins to the clothes she is wearing and then she takes the pins off and begs to do it repeatedly. I even take the pins to doctor's appointments for entertainment. We also hung a small clotheline in our laundry room and the older kids like to hang anything on it with the pins - art, wet clothes, towels, etc.
I see hope for a peaceful future when I look into the eyes of my children
Welcome
This blog is simply a way to share what's on our shelves with families, other teachers, and anyone who is interested in Montessori education.
Feel free to use our activitiy ideas in your homes and classrooms. As a small, new school we operate on a pretty tight budget. Many of our materials are homemade, purchased second hand, or creatively repurposed. Since "reuse and recycle" is quite a trendy movement right now, we are very much in style. Together we can strive to create rich learning environments for our children. We are always learning and looking for ways to improve our work, so we look forward to hearing from you. We encourage you to comment, share ideas, and ask questions.
We'd love for you to spread the word. Go ahead and link away!Please do not copy pictures or text for publication without permission.
