I would LOVE to get a bead cabinet for my environment!
I would LOVE To win this for our new school!
I worked at a Montessori for a time and have been trying to include Montessori in our homeschool. I haven’t been very successful recently as I really can’t afford to buy all the Montessori materials I would love to have. Owning this would be a step in the right direction.
i love Alison’s Montessori puzzle map of the world! how coll is that!
Wow! what a wonderful editin to the school room! its beautiful. Thank you for hosting thi giveaway!
If I won, I’d donate it to my daughter’s Montessori school
What an amazing way for kids to learn geography!!I love it! Would be great for my son!
OMG! We are just starting with land forms, this sounds like dream-would-come-true! Thanks for an awesome chance!
Deb,
Do I tell you here about an Alison product I like? One only? I have been drooling over their botany leaf cabinet and their timelines!
Thanks for hosting this give-away!
This is absolutely awesome! My 3 yo loves puzzles (does puzzle maps for almost an hour at a time) and my older ones have been choosing map work for so long, but run into problems when it comes to naming land and water forms. This would support our map work beautifully!
This set is so cool. I homeschool my 4 yo grandson. I am trying to incorporate some of the Montessori ways and I know he would love this.
The Montessori way of teaching land and water forms is so graphically beautiful with the positive and negative space. I was struck by it the first time I saw Montessori land form pieces. Our girls loved their lesson on landforms taught this way when they were younger. This is a lovely set offered by Alison’s Montessori.
I LOVE the land and water forms! The cabinet is definitely something I’ve always wanted, but never had the funds to purchase it!
I visited the Alison’s Montessori and like the Fraction Circles.
This would be a wonderful addition to our home classroom!
I would love to win the land and water forms. I made my own set with laminated cards, an old tupperware painted blue and model magic. We look at the cards and try to mold what we see. But this would take it to the next level!
This is the material I have my eyes on right now: Decanomial Bead Box http://www.alisonsmontessori.com/Decanomial_Bead_Box_10_in_a_box_p/m25.htm
I have two little boys who would love to have this in our school room. What a wonderful giveaway! I’m keeping my fingers crossed. 🙂
We live in the lake region of Maine…and my family lives on the ocean so it would be fab to have the land and water learning set for my kids as we explore these places more and more.
I posted it on fb.
