Free Cutting Skills Guide and 20 Templates from KHT Montessori
This is a free instant download, courtesy of KHT Montessori! These materials are part of the KHT practical life album. The printables include presentation suggestions and 20 printable cutting templates. (Note: The presentation and 20 templates are in a zip file that’s one easy download!) You can download the Cutting Skills Guide and templates here.

You should see the file at the bottom of your screen. You might need to click that and say “show in folder” or something similar, depending on how your browser saves it.)

I would like to learn Zoology because my daughter loves animals. 🙂
So excited about the giveaway! I would like to win because I have a two year old daughter and a baby to come – I’d like to know how to help them understand the world better. I’ve participated in some introduction lectures about Montessori education, but living in the countryside in my country means no further options for me. So, this online course would be perfect. I love to learn. 🙂
I would love to win this! It would be great to use this for my teaching and for my children at home!
Hi, i am tjasa frOm slovenia. I made some self-learjing about montessori, because i want to educate my 2 years old daughter on this way. With all this learning growing a wish inside of me about educating other kids with this method, but my finances dont let me, to afford a course to become montessori teacher. So, right now i just keep learning my self and just for mydaughter
Ahhhh I want to teach my girls using Montessori! I love the hands on approach to mathematics.
This would make me so happy to win!! I homeschool my 5 kids, as well as my nephew, who range in age from 10 years old to 1 year old. I have been montessori inspired since i started this Journey 10 years ago! This would be a huge help! Thank you for the opprotunity.
Hi, Deb. I’m from Indonesia. It’s very difficult to find montessori materials in Indonesian, therefore I’have been developing some free printables for these six years for the teachers and parents who are conducting montessori homeschool. You can check my work on my blog. However I need to improve my knowledge through KHT Online courses to keep me on the right track and to produce more montessori materials. After I join this montessori course, I want share my knowledge with the teachers and parents in Indonesia since there are few affordable montessori courses here. I’m crossing my fingers to get this chance.
I’m Isabelle, a full-time working mom of 2 wonderful children and hopefully more. We moved to Texas because of work. Both my husband and I are working the oil & gas industry, living a hectic busy life. Our son and daughter are currently enrolled in a Montessori school and learning wonderfully and getting so independent; but I have this conviction that it is my role to lead my children into learning and experiencing life, based on our family core values. Our plan is to move back closer to family and live completely off-grid in one year from now. We want to refocus on our family. Money cannot buy time… and I will never regret the time spent with my children. Homeschooling is what we will do. Our son will then start 1st grade and our daughter will still be in preschool. Our daily life will be filled with “pratical life” experiences as a self-sustainable family, but winning this curriculum would provide me with guidelines, material and ideas, and ease the lifestyle transition for the kids, as they would continue learning the same way they already are: hands-on and independently.
What a lovely giveaway! I’ve been thinking about including more Montessori in our day. I’m “homeschooling” my 3 year old daughter and this would be such a blessing! I love your posts Deb, and I’m so glad to have found KHT again (I couldn’t remember the name and I last found the course when I was pregnant.) I think the subject I’m most interested in studying is the maths. I struggled with maths in school and I want so much for my daughter to love math!
I would love to win this because I have seen many Montessori related things (and even do some that would fit into the category), but I would love more information and a better understanding of the approach. I have two more little ones I would love to expose to a more Montessori approach to learning in their younger years.
Hi! I want to win the KHT Montessori 12-Month Online Course and 12 Teachers’ Manuals because I am inspired by Montessori principles. I am a preschool teacher and in researching teaching and development, I have found that Montessori is an excellent way to guide and encourage development. I would love to win so I can further my studies into the Montessori way and be able to help my students’ growth. Honestly, I don’t have the funds to take any courses, so having the opportunity to win a course is helpful and appreciated.
Thank you!
(crossing my fingers!)
I want to win because where I live there’s no access to Montessori education, want to raise my kids in this lifestyle and hopefully spread it also here to better the education in theearly stages
This is so awesome! I’ve been looking for something like this for a long time! I have a 3 year old boy and plan to home-school him… and I love what I have learned about the Montessori approach.
Thanks for the awesome giveaway! : )
Oh, I want to win soooo much! I already own 2 KHT albums and I found them super useful!
I am homeschooling mum of 3, one of them is son with aspergers, and montessori education is literally saving our life. I think we tried everything, but montessori is the best! We live in Slovakia, where homeschooling is not so popular and montessori not so known… So I am spending nights learning and studying and preparing materials for kids… but I see, it´s worth it 🙂
Thanks for this chance and also, many thanks for your blog, it helps me a lot.
I would love to win the contest because I am just starting my homeschool journey with my two little ones due to a lack of local Montessori schools. I can use all the help I can get to help me plan.
I would love to win this product! How do I choose which album I would like to study, they are all so wonderful. But I guess if I had to choose one it would be history. I think without history we wouldn’t know how our society has advanced and also how we have survived!
I want to learn math the Montessori way most, because it is so different from how I was taught, and it is such a hands-on method, which is great for my tactile little one.
This would be a huge blessing for my family if I won! We have been planning for our little one to learn the Montessori way since well before our son was born. Attending a private Montessori school is totally out of our budget, so I’ve been looking for a training program that I can implement my own homeschool. I have done extensive research of online Montessori Training programs and KHT is the one I decided was the best for me and our son. Since he just turned 3, I’m ready and set to learn and apply everything to our homeschool. Winning would be a relief for our budget and empower me to teach my son well. Thank you for offering hte giveaway!
Oh, my God, let me win please!:) I’m Agnes, from Hungary, have two kids who’d profit a lot from receiving Montessori Education. And this would help to fulfill my dream about opening my (our) own school. You cannot find too much Montessori schools in Hungary, so it would help not only my kids, but a lot of other kids, as well.
My name is Freda owusu and I am from Ghana , Africa. If Africa is going to change then there must be an improvement in curriculum ., a change from curriculuns that is centered on commiting facts to memory just to pass an exams.The change must be geared especially towards childhood curriculum as this is the most impirtant stage of the child. The need for good curriculum led me into doing a lot of research on the best curriculum and I came across the Montessorri Method.
As an owner of an early childhood education center as well as part of an association of early childhood educators I would like to become an ambassador of the montessori approach .Having read a lot of materials on the internet as well as the book- “The Montessori Method – scientific pedagogy as applied to Child education ” by Maria Montessori. I believe this course is what I need to give me the needed training and confidence to be an ambassador of the montessori method of education. I would really want to be chosen for this giveaway inoder to complete the KHT course which is on of the few montesori training that has excellent reviews.
