As I searched the internet and my closets for fresh Winter Montessori activities inspiration, I came across so many fabulously creative ideas that I decided I just had to share them with you! I snuck in a few of my own ideas. I haven't had the opportunity to write up a post yet but I will do so soon. Here are some of my top Montessori December and Winter themed shelf works! Enjoy! Hope we can inspire you!
