Free eBook – Mom Bloggers Talk Montessori: Favorite Ideas and Activities

December 8, 2011 By Deb Chitwood 31 Comments

John Bowman of the Montessori at Home eBook (available exclusively as part of the Montessori at Home eBook and Materials Bundle) and I have a fabulous gift for you! Thanks to the contributions of a number of amazing mom bloggers and Montessori teachers (our “moms to many”), we’re offering Mom Bloggers Talk Montessori: Favorite Ideas and Activities free to everyone!

Mom Bloggers Talk Montessori: Favorite Ideas and Activities

This is 63 pages packed with Montessori-inspired suggestions and activities you can use at home or school. The activities are wonderful; there are lots of photos and links to resources; and the suggestions for parents wanting to use Montessori at home are practical, inspirational, and reassuring.

How to Receive Your Free eBook:

2019 Update: This used to be a subscriber freebie, but some sites have changed their links. Because there are some broken links, anyone is free to download the eBook here.

When you sign up for my newsletter, you will receive a 177-page Montessori geography album created by Karen Tyler from World Wide Montessori Online. You’ll also get a monthly subscriber freebie and access to the Living Montessori Now Resource Library.

You’ll receive my weekly newsletter each Sunday with a note from me about what’s happening along with links to my posts from the past week.

Have fun using Montessori at home! Of course, the resources for newsletter subscribers are great for teachers, too! 🙂

    Wow how cool. Can’t wait to read it. I just signed up – I’m so unobservant I didn’t even spot that you had a weekly newsletter – when do you have the time to do all this stuff!

      Thanks so much, The Monko! I’m glad you signed up for my newsletter! My kids are grown, so I do have a lot more time available than most bloggers. Of course, I still can’t keep up with everything. 😉

    Nice announcement of the eBook, Deb! this was a fun project to work on and I share your thanks to all the wonderful Mom Bloggers who contributed. Such a wide variety of activities are represented, and wonderful tips from the Mom’s for other parents wishing to do these kinds of activities at home. I hope this eBook furthers the cause of encouraging parents to be proactive with their children’s education right from the start!

    Nice concept and sounds resourceful! I would have loved to be a part of this!! Was this something you posted about asking for submissions? I sure miss reading those types of post a lot. Thank you for sharing.

      Thanks, Discovering Montessori! We would have loved to have you be a part of it, too. I had a section asking for submissions in three of the Montessori Monday posts and in at least three of my newsletters. I also had it on Twitter and my Facebook page. With all that’s happening in the blogosphere, though, it’s easy to miss things. Have a wonderful weekend! 🙂

      Thanks, Linda! If you already receive my newsletter, you should have been sent a link for my geography album when you signed up (unless it went into your Spam folder). I’ll be adding the link for the free eBook to my newsletter the next two Sundays. If you’re receiving my newsletter but never received the link for the geography album, just send me an email or message using my contact page, and I’ll be sure you get the geography album! 🙂

    What an absolutely crucial grouping of resources you provide… thank you for your endeavors and dedication to bringing the materials ‘home’ for EVERYONE the way it was intended! Sometimes it is easy to forget that this method began not in high-end private schools but as an effort to bring quality of life and education to all children! THANK YOU so very much for everything that you do each and every day… YOU truly make a difference.

    I’m sorry, I would like to register to your site to oget the free ebook (geography album), I really do not know how to do it. I don’t find your link on the right. And I can’t click subscribe by email. I don’t know why.

    I already get your post via RSS feed.

    Thans for the help.
