I updated our Montessori shelves a bit for March. There is a green theme a la St. Patrick’s Day.
Fine Motor Skill Activity with Pipecleaners
We continue to work on fine motor skills with pipe cleaners and beading. This work is easy & inexpensive. All you need are pony beads
My 2 year old loves this work. With my 3.5 year old, I try to integrate some early math activities with him by playing with the number of beads on each pipe cleaner and by counting in 2s, for example.
St. Patrick’s Day Counting Activity
This one was also easy and relatively inexpensive. Again, use your pony beads
Simply add stickers to the mold and ask your child to add the same number of beads to the mold. A great early math activity and simple counting activity for the younger children.
St. Patrick’s Day Math Activity
Another early math seriation activity. Simply match the correct number with the foam circle with the same number of shamrocks. My 2 year old was excited to simply count the shamrock stickers but I also showed him the correct number match.
My 3.5 year old found this activity a bit too easy but I created the activity by 2s. So we worked on counting by 2s for a little extra fun.
So those works are the new ones on our shelves. I love rotating trays and hope to ignite my sons’ learning in a new way.
Montessori Fraction Skittles
I am also really excited about a new material we have in our homeschool: Montessori Large Fraction Skittles with Stand
My 2 year old took to them immediately. It was amazing to watch him explore them. I used them with a learning to tell time activity with my 3.5 year old along side our 15 Minute Sand Timer
