  • Using Dollar Tree and Hobby Lobby items I put together 10+ toddler learning activities inspired by Montessori practices. Making learning fun is what it's all about!
    What is Montessori? Montessori is a method of education that is based on self-directed activity, hands-on learning and collaborative play. Montessori emphasizes learning through all five senses, not just through listening, watching, or reading. Children in Montessori classes learn at their own, individual pace and according to their own choice of activity. Learning is an exciting process of discovery, leading to concentration, motivation, self-discipline, and a love of learning.

    I'm a retired Montessori teacher. I like your ideas..teacher- made materials are great. You might enjoy the book "Teaching Montessori in the Home". The book contains patterns for more hands-on materials..making your own sandpaper letters and numbers. Teach lower case first..less confusing for them. Have fun teaching Luke.

    Love these! I worked in a Montessori school for almost 4 years. I ordered books for my yet to be born baby every time they placed book orders. By the time I had my son we had a huge library for him :) Before 3 is a critical time to work with your kids and give them the foundation for the lifetime of knowledge :) Great job, Mom!

    Oh and I picked up some of those wood letters from Michaels the other day because they were on crazy clearance. I didn't have a use for them (shame!) so now I do!!

    The only thing I remember from my first day of school is playing with those lacing cards.
    I love all these activities, and I don't have any kids! It's not a necessity to go and buy expensive toys. The dollar tree books are so cute!

    I love that you showed what items you shopped for, how you put these games together, and then how the child plays with it. Such a great video! Would love to see more of this type of educational learning fun activities, thanks Hillary!

    The animal footprints in the playdough idea is so amazing. I also like the idea of printing the toy animals into the play dough. I can imagine the prints looking very detailed as the animals are an intricately designed. I'd love this activity and I'm in my 20s

    So much fun - our girls are in the same season of learning. The new series of Dollar Tree books look great! Did you also get the little colored pom-poms from Hobby Lobby? I've been looking for that size for the same type of activity. Have you gone the the channel, "The Purple Alphabet." Tons of ideas there.

    When I was a para in an early childhood class we would place pom pon balls on the floor, and give each child a clothspin. They would have to pick up the pom pon ball with the clothspin and carry it in the clothspin to a bucket where they would release it into the bucket. It combined gross motor and fine motor skills. The kids loved that game.

    @andeesignsable 7 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    With your pompoms you can give her a tweezer or larger grabber that utilize the same hand grip. She can grab the pom poms with the tool so it reinforces pre writing pre cutting fine motor skills

    • @stefedayana1167
      @stefedayana1167 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Great Ideas Hillary. Funny thing...while watching your sequencing game I remembered when my daughter learned that. Gr 1...she was shown by me when younger but didn't do it in school until Gr 1, Evey will be well prepared when she heads to school. Great Job!!. Check out the Purple Alphabet, she's awesome and I also enjoy Jady A, she homeschools and has some great learning activities as well.
