Montessori at Home

The shelf Grandma found at the thrift store for $10. It works perfectly for Addison. (Soon the whole shelf will have Montessori work on it. As of right now it only has 2, but she loves all the other stuff too.)


She loves her little puzzles.


Xavier was showing her how to do a knobbed puzzle.



Choosing her favorite work off the shelf.




Her favorite work so far is put and take.


Doing some dry pouring. I used some colored pasta and she tried to eat it at first.



Since we can not afford to send Addison to Montessori school at the moment. I am turning the playroom into a small Montessori environment for her. It's been a slow process because you need shelves and they don't come cheap. We finally got one from a thrift store and then found the perfect table and chairs at IKEA for a very good price. I have set-up 2 works so far and she is in heaven. Next on the list is another shelf, some actual Montessori work and some rugs for her to do work on the floor. She may not be getting the socialization that school offers, but she will be getting some of the basic skills. I am hoping we can afford to send her next fall.
