Thank you for such a fantastic giveaway. I would love to win this not only for my youngest two kids to enjoy, but also for our homeschool co-op to use.
Posted about the giveaway on my FB group, Nurturing Mothers Network!
I would love to win this to give to my sister for her 5 year old, and have her save it for my son later on.
Just wanted to let you know when I came back to finish entering today the form had reset so I couldn’t remember exactly what I had already entered. I tried my best not to reenter an entry. Then when I went to blog about it and reloaded the page it reset again, so I had to redo the mandatory entry.
The land and water form cabinet is fantastic! My sons, ages 2 & 3 are enchanted with maps, and this would be a great way to continue our earth exploration process!
I would love to give this to my kids school and introduce their teacher to a little Montessori magic.
OOOh, I would LOVE LOVE LOVE this! What a FABULOUS giveaway!!
From Allison’s montessori, the burried treasure castle dig would be a huge hit in our house
This is so cool! My oldest is so into nature and weather right now, we would love this!!
My son LOVES learning! He will be 4 in January and either of these wonderful prizes would be such a gift for him!
I would love to win this as I am homeschooling my daughter and son, and we haven’t had a chance to make or purchase these yet.
I would like to win either of these prize because I think both would be invaluable in teaching my children who are visual learners.
I would love to win this… just starting to build our Montessori classroom!
love to win this, we are so ready to have montessori items in our home
Would be so wonderful to win…both kiddos now in montessori children’s house…would love to own this!
My kids love nature and nature walks. They love collecting leaves, acorns,bugs you name it. So I just know the leaf cabinet would be a hit. [email protected]
Oh, so many Alinson’s products I like, but, if I had to decide beyond the leaf cabinet and the geography material … My youngest is so much into puzzles these days and starting to trace, and my older ones are developing their abstract thinking, so I really like the “Parts of a …” puzzles.
I want them because we can’t afford to send our daughter to a montessori education so we have to do it at home.
I’ve had the land forms cabinet on my wish list for a long time! I did my best to make something effective myself but these materials have it all – definitions, sturdiness & intrigue!
The leaf cabinet, are you kidding me? That is so awesome! Just the prospect of winning any of my two favorite items takes my breath away.
Thanks, Deb, thanks, Alison’s!
