Interlocking circles

The interlocking disks is a wooden Montessori baby

toy with two disks that are placed together at a 90-
degree angle. It's a fantastic little wooden toy that is
suitable for babies starting at a young age. First, it's a
great grasping toy because of its size and shape.
Eventually, a baby can use the interlocking disks to
transfer from one hand to another. This requires
some great wrist movement unlike so many other
toys.

Bell on a ribbon

The Montessori Bell on a Ribbon is an open-ended

discovery ‘toy’ which, due to its simplicity, can easily
engage your baby’s attention, without the danger of
overwhelming them. While in use, a baby can
discover their own agency. Meaning, that things don’t
just happen to them, but they have effect, even some
control over their environment. Exploration,
discovery, learning new skills, developmental
stimulation…. It encompasses everything! All from a
simple bell hanging on a ribbon.

when shaken.

Open and Close

This activity is extremely simple but can keep toddlers

entertained for some time, helping to develop
coordination and motor skills. You can essentially use
any boxes, drawers, tins, zip containers, etc. that can
open and close easily when used by a toddler. You
will then hide various toys or treasures inside the
container and encourage your child to open and close
them.

Mystery Bag or Mystery Box

This is an excellent idea for developing language and

encouraging exploration. Simply take a bag or box
that is not easily seen through and fill it with
everyday items that your child is familiar with. Allow
your child to reach inside and guess what items they
are feeling.

Create a Nature Tray

A nature tray is a great way to discuss a child’s

surroundings, develop language, and create new
experiences. You can either collect items around your
home or even purchase some new nature items like
feathers and sand to create a tray of natural items.
Leaves, rocks, dirt, flowers, practically anything can
be added to this tray; just remember to wash your
child’s hands after

Sorting Items by Color

During the toddler years, you can begin teaching

things like colors, letters, and basic shapes. A great
way to do this is by creating sorting activities that
your child can play with, using a variety of items from
around your home, toys, dyed pasta, art supplies,
buttons, and practically anything you may have. Offer
different bowls or containers that match these colors,
allowing the child to place the colored items into the
containers.

Practice Washing

Toddler years are also a great time to begin

developing self-help skills and encourage
development in this area. Allowing your child to help
with washing hands, vegetables for dinner, dishes,
toys, etc. can help create self-help skills while
encouraging play. You can either let your child sit at a
sink or even create a bucket of soapy water for them
to explore.

Magnetic Versus Nonmagnetic

This is a great way to encourage learning about

magnets, and you can include as much information as
you would like to supplement the activity. During this,
children can use various magnetic and nonmagnetic
items and a magnetic wand to decide which items
will stick. Some easy to find items to include are
refrigerator magnets, pencils, rocks, paper clips,
wooden blocks, keys, metal spoons, coins, and more.

Color Sorting and Color Finding

Take the previously mentioned color sorting activity

for toddlers and amp it up by encouraging children to
find their own-colored items, introduce color names,
use color words, etc. to make this slightly more
challenging. Offer a variety of items to sort from felt
to paper, toys, and more, even offering a scavenger
hunt.

Sink or Float

This is another excellent option that encourages

science knowledge, by using various items and
discovering which sink and which float. You can offer
a vast range of items like feathers, rocks, shells,
wooden spoons, leaves, and practically anything you
have in your home. Then provide your child with a
bucket or container of water, even allowing them to
use a bathtub full of water to see which items sink
and which items float.

Sorting by Size

orting and categorizing are often used in Montessori,

which makes sorting practically any items from small
to large can be a great option. This can even be used
with foods and help develop language development
and encourage trying new foods.

Develop Life Skills

This is a great time to include children in basic chores

like simple cleaning, picking up toys, dressing
themselves, and basic cooking. You can include your
child with sorting clothing, allowing them to match
socks. Encouraging inclusion and self-help is amazing
during the preschool years.

life activities. This is a great way to teach children to
work together well while also fostering independence
from adults.

Math Activities

Encouraging basic math skills becomes even more

critical during the kindergarten years. Montessori
math starts with concrete examples and then
becomes abstract over time. You will want to offer
manipulatives and materials that can help encourage
math growth.

Science Activities

Science is an area where Montessori excels as

learning through doing is common when it comes to
science lessons. No matter what the curriculum you
are trying to teach, you can almost always make it
hands-on and encourage student participation.

Language Activities

Language is usually quite developed by this age

range, but now is a time for alphabet and alphabet
sound recognition to become critical. It is also when
basic reading skills are introduced, and sight words
are common in Kindergarten classrooms. During this
time, reading time is important and is often led by the
educator.

Puzzle Maps

Puzzle maps help children learn geography in a

hands-on, engaging way. Many students struggle to
visualize the world’s shape and layout, especially
when they only see a flat paper map. Puzzle maps
allow students to understand the world’s shape and
learn the placements of continents and countries in
relation to one another.

Montessori Math – Memorization

Montessori Memorization is an approach to learning

that focuses on developing children’s memory skills
through purposeful and meaningful activities. In
Montessori education, memorization is not solely
about rote memorization but rather about engaging
the child’s mind and making connections to enhance
understanding and retention.

Language

Allowing children to oversee the types of reading

materials they use, offering spelling and grammar
games, comparing and contrasting literature, thinking
critically, offering journaling time, and student
presentations are all ways that Montessori can be
incorporated.

Cultural Curriculum

Elementary students possess an inherent curiosity

and imagination about the world and their place in it,
and so the Elementary Cultural curriculum is designed
to build off that natural wonder and excitement about
the universe. Kingsley’s Lower Elementary Cultural
curriculum invites students to ask why and how, and
to discover the inner workings of the universe for
themselves.

Science Zoology

To begin their exploration of zoology, children are

introduced to the concept of living vs. nonliving.
Teachers read books about and discuss the needs of
living things: soil, air, and water, and often exhibit
real objects that the children can hold and study.
Children create categories using objects and
photographs, dividing them into groups of living and
nonliving things, plants and animals, vertebrates and
invertebrates. Finally, the five vertebrate classes —
fish, amphibian, reptile, bird, and mammal — are
introduced. Children learn about the variety of
animals in each group, their distinct features, the
names of their body parts, and their habitats.

Life Skills

By now, most children know how to do basic self-

care rituals like washing hands, using the restroom,
cleaning, etc. However, now is an excellent time to
begin letting children take charge of their
environment, offering them organization jobs,
cleaning jobs, food preparation duties, and more
around the classroom. Also, later elementary years
are when new hygiene and personal changes may
take place, which makes discussing these self-care
areas important.
