Montessori Room

I have spent a lot of the weekend working on Harrys room, we live in a two bed house so an individual montessori room will just not happen, so harrys room is safe, has a low table and chairs, which she can pull herself up on and shelves which are attached to the wall, did try the child bed but she was playing with her toys till the early hours so she went back into her cot.

So far we have the following infant toddler, practical life and sensorial materials.

Which she uses now.

a set of stacking rings
a cube which you push a ball into
some very large peg jigsaws
a treasure basket

for later on
a learn to dress doll
cylinder blocks
pink tower
assorted jugs bowls and spoons for practical life (used for water play at mo.)

we tend to cycle her toys and place them on low shelves so she can help herself.

We have had a good activity weekend as well, water play, went to the beach and played with the sand, read lots of books and played with dough.

I am also looking for information on montessori from birth to three as my training started a two and a half so I am off to look at amazon.
