For how to choose Montessori-friendly books, click here. I usually avoid electronic books, but the musical quality of this one was strong and resounding, not that artificial tinny noise I usually associate with electronic toys.įor more books, The Kavanaugh Report has a great list of spring books here and here I used several of the books for a springtime homeschooling co-op last year and they were absolute hits with the children. Just as we started the unit by observing the transition from winter to spring, we chose this book recommended by fridabemighty that placed spring in the context of all the seasons, and set it to the music of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons. Paired with our cursive movable alphabet (benefits here) but alphabet fridge magnets would do just fine. Matching spring-themed language objects to initial soundsĪ happy accident that the objects were predominantly yellow: flower, egg, sun, parakeet and bicycle. I had been saving these British wildflower and garden bird prints since last October in eager anticipation of spring, and even asked Angie, the artist, to autograph them, hence they’re dated 2016 (bottom right corner of the standing floral print).Ħ.

I’m looking for flowers which can be pressed whole, like these British daffodils. I chose this vintage flower press for its oversized knobs which are easy for little hands to turn.
One of those activities where math and art meet. It is my children’s first time experiencing spring, so we are basking in the glorious weather outdoors, but also bringing the outdoors in with a slate of no-cost flower, butterfly and bird activities.Ī springtime unit simply wouldn’t be complete without this year-round favourite: flower arranging.
