Montessori Resources

There was nothing structured I've planned for Tim since he was in the nursery... was quite excited that I've discovered this set of printables that could be made and Tim could "play" with yet learn at the same time.

Was introduced to Childcareland by Shelly Lovett recently and I was really thrilled that there are so much early learning activities within her program that we could use to help our kids learn. I was truly spoiled for choice when I opened up her CD Rom.
Knowing Tim was into a dino frenzy of late, I chose the dinosaurs theme and printed these alphabet matching game. He was to match the upper case letters to the lower case letters.
I printed and laminated all the elements. I even attached velcro to each of the letters and on each of the space where the letters should be attached to.
Tim wasn't expose to puzzles much but these puzzles were easy for him to work on. He had lots of fun that he was able to piece up the puzzles easily.
These math games were fun and easy for the kid to pick up the concept of numbers.

Great cutting activity for little hands to work on those fine motor skills.
Another great Montessori resource is Montessori for Everyone. These high quality picture cards were obtained from Montessori for Everyone. I've made quite a lot of 3-part card activities out of this resource. Except for the Vegetable/Fruit cards, those were made by me. You can however download some very good quality 3-part cards, that's totally free of charge, here.
Here are some pink series, phonics, cards I've prepared from the same resource of Montessori for Everyone.

Am all geared up for my homeschool journey for sure... *smile*
