I would love to win the materials because I could see in the past years how much my children have benefited from Montessori. We are moving a lot and every time it is huge struggle to find a “proper” Montessori school so I might end up homeschooling. My children would love the materials as much as their mum and it would saving us time gathering material which I can then spend with my children. And I could stop driving my husband insane by just collecting and laminating, having no time to keep our storage in order and saving money for fun activities with our kids!
I would love to win!!! I home school my two special needs kiddos and this material would just be over the moon!! Thank you so much for doing this!!
My mixed age group Montessori class would benefit from all the Montessori materials. It would be great to use the materials that would be age appropriate for my entire class, and they would definitely benefit from everything.
I would love to win this package as we have no dedicated Montessori kindergarten in our city since my first son’s school closed in 2013. So with my second son, I would like to do home Montessori until he’s ready for preschool in 2017.
Why do I want to win? Because as a mother of two very young babies (20-month-old daughter and soon-to-be-born son) I can use the materials for a very long time 😉 We are just entering the world of Montessori!
I am new to your blog spot I have a two year old daughter and I have been working with children for the past 14 years as an assistant Pre-School teacher and a nanny. I am going back to school to get my Associates degree in Early Childhood Education. I am thinking about working at a Montessori school as well as enrolling my daughter in one as well. This prize package would help us both to achieve our goals.
My brother is a lead teacher at a Montessori school, I’d love to win this for him and his class! Thanks for the chance!
This would be such a great addition to our homeschool. I love Montessori, but we don’t have a lot of the teaching aids.
This would be a great learning tool for my cousin who is homeschooling her 2 children and it includes so many subjects which would be of interest to them
This would be great for homeschooling planning for this year!
I just started reading more on Montessori and want to teach it to my children. Such a great giveaway!
Just started reading up on Montessori and want my children to start doing Montessori activities. Great giveaway!
I just had my 4th child ten months ago and I’ve been looking up things to do with him since when I homeschooled my other kids I wasn’t prepared because it was a very spur of the moment decision so I don’t feel I did my best but now I’ve come across Montessori method and so far I love it, but don’t like the costs involved so this would definitely help us out a lot so I can be prepared in advance!
What an awesome give away!! We are starting to incorporate Montessori into our eclectic homeschool, this would be a great foundation for us as we begin our new journey! Thank you for the opportunity!
receiving this giveaway would help me to extend my Montessori mummy time with my two kids. Things are very expensive in Australia and to get resources to make my own is limited so winning this would be a great gift for our family.
Such a wonderful package!!! I absolutely want to win these for my Filipino students.
Incredible package. I hope I get an opportunity to win for my kids.
I have tried visiting the Montessori Print Shop page on FB but keep getting “this content is currently unavailable” message. 🙁 Should I click that I visited anyway?
I absolutely love your blog. It has changed my life and offered a better life for my children. I have had 1 child that I have done so much with your ideas and things, I am getting ready to start my daughter with it all! I can’t wait!
What a huge and wonderful package. My 6th grader has enjoyed growing in Montessori and I’m starting to teach the kids I babysit.
