Bean Sprouting Fun
Inexpensive Book Display
Inexpensive Book Display- I’ve never liked using this for files in my office, so now I use it as a small book shelf and display in the bathroom.
My daughter looks at books happily while I shower because they are so nicely displayed!
Compared to front displaying bookcases, this is a very inexpensive option that still engages interest by featuring the covers of picture books.
Kitchen Drawers
Kitchen drawer 1:
child-sized silverware, dishes, washcloths, snack cup, glasses, and cloth napkins.
Kitchen drawer 2:
Towels, brush, and dustpan.
New Shelves!
My dad came to visit last weekend and we whipped together these new shelves for all of Julia’s Montessori work. She loves seeing her activities so beautifully displayed and we built these shelves with minimal tools. Success!
First Montessori Cloth Washing Activity
I just used a plastic dish bin with about 2 inches of warm soapy water and this great child-sized washing board from Montessori Services I also got her smock there. We put a towel down on the floor in case of spills. My daughter happily scrubbed away at these dirty rags and when she was finished washing we hung them on a drying rack to dry. This was a fun and easy activity!
