Since December 15, 2011, I’ve published a Montessori-inspired post at PreK + K Sharing on the 15th of each month. Except for my introductory post in November 2011, each of my posts at PreK + K Sharing gives links to free printables from around the blogosphere and ideas for creating Montessori-inspired activities using the free printables.
My posts typically fit with a Montessori-inspired unit study or a seasonal or holiday theme. Today, I want to share some photos and links to my last 13 posts at PreK + K Sharing. Except for the Olympic math activities, the resources will work for schools and homeschools in 2013, too! I typically include a range of activities for skill levels from preschool through first grade. You’ll often find ideas for presenting the activities as well.

I found a great video on your website, but then couldn’t find it again to share with others. Can you give me a direct link?
Hi Paula! I have quite a few videos at Living Montessori Now. If you could tell me more about the video, I might be able to find it. Happy New Year!

This is a wonderful resource for parents and teachers. I love having it in one spot for when parents are looking for things to do at home. We’re so glad you have started sharing on our After School Link up each week from both sites. As you know we believe that Parents are a child’s first teacher and we love sharing amazing resources for them.
