Montessori Monday – Montessori-Inspired Valentine’s Day Activities

It’s time to prepare some Montessori-inspired Valentine’s Day activities! Fortunately, there are already lots of 2012 Valentine’s Day resources available. Here I’ll be listing posts from 2012 (and from 2011 after my last year’s post was published). I’m adding to this post throughout the season.
