    The Montessori way of teaching land and water forms is so graphically beautiful with the positive and negative space. I was struck by it the first time I saw Montessori land form pieces. Our girls loved their lesson on landforms taught this way when they were younger. This is a lovely set offered by Alison’s Montessori.
