Themed Montessori Practical Life Shelves

This post may contain affiliate links. See my disclosure .

The number one thing I love about Practical Life is how inexpensive you can achieve the goal. Even if you are purchasing from a company like Montessori Services or Montessori Outlet, you can get great Practical Life sets. However, you can also rummage around your home and local thrift stores to find some wonderful options for Practical Life works.

Here are examples of a few Practical Life trays I’ve placed on our shelves over time (my disclaimer is that several of these trays were presented before I had proper Montessori training. So just remember left to right transfer and isolation of quality, so same color, same object to transfer, etc):

This post is meant to be inspiring to you. I hope that what you gleamed from these images is just how easy it is to bring these sorts of Practical Life works into your classroom.

Thanks for visiting,
