Montessori On A Budget is lovely. Check out the great spindle
box idea. My sister used pretty, reusable shopping bags as gift
bags last year. It was like receiving two gifts! Bring them when
you shop and cut down on your throw away bags or reuse them
again for your holiday giving. This is a wonderful idea for a
play kitchen stove and sink using a recycled cabinet and your
creativity! This one is cheap and cheerful! Pinterest.com is a
great education resource for parents and teachers. Check out the
site for great recipes, handwork and much more! Make Montessori
reading cards and use objects to match the cards this holiday.
This is a great activity for a child who can not read or is an
early reader. For example, print out this bulb, print with
colored paper or color it. Label the card with the word “bulb”
and find an actual bulb and let your child match it to the card.
This is a wonderful first step in understanding the process of
reading. About.com has many more Christmas printouts for this
activity. Use items
