If you are reading this blog…..:-)
I plan to post some pictures of the DIY Montessori materials when I get back the camera. Hopefully after the holidays. Let me know if you are interested and what you are interested to see. :-)
Since the “real” Montessori materials are expensive and I didn’t want my school to be a upmarket thing that many people would not be able to afford, 70% of the materials I have in the classroom are DIY or custome made by a carpenter. In fact you can turn many things around the house even pairs of clip on earrings into Montessori materials with a little creativity. I only bought materials that are not possible to make i.e: knobbed cylinders, or when the store bought ones are visually much more pleasing i.e. world puzzle map.

Something wrong with my feedreader until I didn’t know there were so many new updates in your blog. Catching up. It’s truly inspiring and you open my eyes on how a true Montessori school works.
Enjoy reading every single post from word to word and re reading it to further digest it. :)
Keep up the work and am truly interested on how you make the material and thanks for the idea on the sound box.
