April link pack: all the links you have to read, curated by Simone Davies

Hi everyone,

Hope you all had a lovely weekend and are now flopped on the couch resting before the new week begins.

It’s been a busy week here with Week One of my Setting up your home Montessori-style online workshop. We have a large group and it has been so fun to meet all these amazing families.

Today here is my April link pack full of inspiring Montessori-ness. Here’s what I’ve been loving:

Activities

  • Writing before reading – learn more about the Montessori moveable alphabet here
  • Montessori kids get great fine motor skills from working with things like nuts and bolts. Check out this video here from my Montessori friend Jeanne-Marie Paynel.
  • Love this list of 100 Montessori-inspired activities for preschoolers
  • This looks like so much fun to make – DIY squishy soap:
  • And these beautiful Montessori materials from France

Ideas to Montessori your home

  • This cloud stool is adorable (via Blossom Kids)
  • This home here! Love all the white with pops of colour.
  • Add some plants to your home even if you don’t have a green thumb by making this
  • Storage ideas galore from all the Amsterdam Mamas here

Books

  • How to make your kids crazy about reading with the lovely Planting Peas blog here
  • Nicole has two of the sweetest Montessori kids on the block. Read her post on Montessori friendly books.
  • And a round up of engaging books for preschoolers

From Montessori classrooms around the world

  • Love the movement in a Montessori classroom – watch this video of day in the life of Baan Dek Montessori
  • I am dying over the beauty in the Montessori Village’s new toddler class in Spain
  • A very special classroom – where my children went to preschool. My kids are now 15 and 14 years old and the same teachers still work there!

Some interesting reads

  • This article suggesting the first step to raising a creative child is to step back:
  • Making a child say sorry, or not…read more here

Have a great time exploring all these links and I’ll see you soon to keep helping you bring Montessori into your home.

Warmest wishes,
Simone
