I'm a retired Montessori teacher. I like your ideas..teacher- made materials are great. You might enjoy the book "Teaching Montessori in the Home". The book contains patterns for more hands-on materials..making your own sandpaper letters and numbers. Teach lower case first..less confusing for them. Have fun teaching Luke.
I will try all of these! My daughter is almost 2 and she is the hardest part of homeschooling my firat grader. I am always on the hunt for activities at the table I can do with her while my other daughter does schoolwork. thank you thank you thank you.
Love these! I worked in a Montessori school for almost 4 years. I ordered books for my yet to be born baby every time they placed book orders. By the time I had my son we had a huge library for him :) Before 3 is a critical time to work with your kids and give them the foundation for the lifetime of knowledge :) Great job, Mom!
So fun! Toddler learning is a blast! You could also do impressions in the play dog with the letters and make her name! Counting the animals is always fun too! Evey will have so much fun!
thank you for sharing these great ideas. My 18 months old is so energetic that I sometimes run out of ideas on how to entertain her in educational and productive way. Please do share more. very smart
I love that you showed what items you shopped for, how you put these games together, and then how the child plays with it. Such a great video! Would love to see more of this type of educational learning fun activities, thanks Hillary!
The animal footprints in the playdough idea is so amazing. I also like the idea of printing the toy animals into the play dough. I can imagine the prints looking very detailed as the animals are an intricately designed. I'd love this activity and I'm in my 20s
That egg carton and clip idea is genius! I'm so bad at coming up with ideas like this so I'm really excited to try this with my two-year-old! Thanks for the idea!
Great activities! Those books were total scores and can be used in so many ways. I will have to check my Dollar Tree for the one with the kite...so cute!
Wow, thank you! Ur giving me hope after a new month of my baby turning into a toddler from heck... I mean I know this is for later but it still gives me hope. Ty!
When I was a para in an early childhood class we would place pom pon balls on the floor, and give each child a clothspin. They would have to pick up the pom pon ball with the clothspin and carry it in the clothspin to a bucket where they would release it into the bucket. It combined gross motor and fine motor skills. The kids loved that game.
I absolutely adored your video!! What great ideas! Im in another continent and we do not have hobby lobby or dollar stores here. Material wise we are poor but I will try to be inspired by some of your projects with whatever we have at hand. Thank you!!
I love this! I teach preschool piano (Wunderkeys) to ages 3-5. Many of the concepts in the program are similar to the ones you talked about (patterns, matching, memorizing, fine motor skills) so I got some great ideas for activities at my lessons! Thank you!
The only thing I remember from my first day of school is playing with those lacing cards. I love all these activities, and I don't have any kids! It's not a necessity to go and buy expensive toys. The dollar tree books are so cute!
I love these ideas! Now that we've started homeschooling my oldest two, I've been in search of activities to keep my two year old busy, these will definitely be helpful!
You might enjoy my channel too... my daughter is also 2 and I am a childminder to toddlers so share lots of montessori inspired resource and activity ideas. Hope you enjoy xxx
Great idea with the letter recognition! Too bad my son is a little too old for these activities but you're very creative with your different learning activities!
This video is brilliant, really clever! Will definatly be sorting out some bits to have these activities at home.Thanks so much and keep up the good work.
Great ideas! Thank you for sharing Hillary am starting a daycare centre soon and was thinking of incorporating montessori in to it and this video really helped,Looking forward to more videos.
Great tips! I've seen renditions of a lot of these on Pinterest, but it was so refreshing and nice to hear you explain everything: " I got this at hobby lobby, dollar tree etc" a couple things I haven't heard of too! Wonderful!
I loved yr video it's v friendly n interesting kids r v much love it n play whole day I like yr explain style also u explain v well thank u for sharing v skill full activities.
Hilary, these will be so nice to do with my son while my daughter is at preschool:) I need to bond with my boy again! Thank you! So cool! Take Care--- Brandis
With your pompoms you can give her a tweezer or larger grabber that utilize the same hand grip. She can grab the pom poms with the tool so it reinforces pre writing pre cutting fine motor skills
Great Ideas Hillary. Funny thing...while watching your sequencing game I remembered when my daughter learned that. Gr 1...she was shown by me when younger but didn't do it in school until Gr 1, Evey will be well prepared when she heads to school. Great Job!!. Check out the Purple Alphabet, she's awesome and I also enjoy Jady A, she homeschools and has some great learning activities as well.
Oh and I picked up some of those wood letters from Michaels the other day because they were on crazy clearance. I didn't have a use for them (shame!) so now I do!!
In my child development class on Thursday my group and i are going intothe daycare at my high school. My group and i are going into the toddler room what kined of activitys do they like
I tried the hair scrunchies and pompoms with the boys I babysit (1.5 year old twins) and they just kept putting them in their mouths/possibly eating them ?? Any idea on how to handle this and any alternative ideas on sorting, picking up with fine motor, etc?

What great ideas. You make learning so much fun for kids.
So fun! Toddler learning is a blast! You could also do impressions in the play dog with the letters and make her name! Counting the animals is always fun too! Evey will have so much fun!

We can use cloth drying clips as tweezer right mam??
