Free Montessori Printable – 3-Part Recycle Cards

By

To celebrate my blogiversary, I have a free printable Montessori material for you!

Free 3-Part Recycle Cards

Free Montessori 3-Part Recycle Cards

Because my blogiversary is just a little over a week before Earth Day (April 22), I created a free printable of 3-part recycle cards.

To download the 3-part cards, click here, then right click on the image and choose “Save Picture As …”

Directions for 3-Part Recycle Cards

1. Print out 2 copies, and separate the words from the photos on one of the pages.

2. Even though my file isn’t downloaded exactly like the Montessori Print Shop files, there are some helpful articles and “how to” tutorials in their dropdown menus at the top of the Montessori Print Shop home page, such as how to prepare 3-part cards and how to make storage pouches for Montessori nomenclature. You can see another idea for making 3-part card folders in my post about music appreciation with Peter and the Wolf.

3. In addition to using the cards as 3-part cards, I always like to add 3-dimensional objects whenever possible. I’d recommend having a basket of recyclable materials such as paper, glass bottles, plastic bottles, and cans for your child to match below the cards. You could also use the cards as labels for recycling bins.

UPDATE: You’ll also find more ideas for using the 3-part recycle cards in my Free Earth Day Printables and Montessori-Inspired Earth Day Activities post.

      Thanks, Amina! Your material is great! You make lots of lovely materials! It would be wonderful if you found a way for readers to download them from your blog. Then you wouldn’t have to email them – and it would be easy for your readers as well. Have a great week! 🙂
