I am in the process of trying to homeschool my daughter. I love all of the neat homeschool items available but can’t afford most of it. It would be neat to add something to our daily activities beyond the typical boring school stuff! 🙂
This is an awesome giveaway. I would love to have these for my classroom!
Love Alisons movable alphabet!!! One of the most versitile things to use in my opinion. 🙂
I’d love to win. 🙂 I have 3 children who love Montessori, it’s just a great way to learn.
I would love to win the Land and Water Form Cabinet and/or the Leaf Cabinet to donate to my children’t Montessori school!
I would love to use them with my son.
I love their map cabinet. Saving up to buy those!
These would be great addition to our home classroom!
I am a Montessori Head Teacher in Illinois and I would LOVE to share this with my 3-6yr old class. I have been in the montessori enviroment for over 12yrs and I really make my classroom like a second home for the children. I know they would be so happy to have this in our room and they love working in the geography area. It’s the best job ever to teach them so many exciting things and its the Montessori way of doing it that makes it even more special .
I would love to use this with my co-op classes. Both sets look beaturiful!
I have recently purchased some wonderful materials from Alison’s and they are working out beautifully! I would love the land form cabinet for my classroom, it would be a lovely extension to these lessons!
This is an amazing prize! I would love this for my daughter, we are doing montessori at home since she was 9 months 🙂
Thanks for the opportunity!
I think the leaf cabinet is the cutest thing! Definately what I want most!
This would be great for the children in the day care run out of my house!
When I was in Ecuador this past summer I stayed in a village that had just set up a Montessori pre-school and I know they were desperate for supplies. I plan to go back down there within the next year and I would love to take either of these prizes with me and donate them. They would be very well used and loved.
we love the Geometric Cabinet at http://www.alisonsmontessori.com/default.asp
I would love to win either prize. I have a 3-year-old currently in Montessori and a baby that will be later on. I am in the process of converting their playroom to be more Montessori-like, and these prizes would make a great addition.
We are a new school with very little money (non-profit) – I would love to win any of the give aways as we have neither. They would be such a wonderful addition to our school materials!
I also LOVE the Stamp Game from Allison’s – we don’t have that work either.
My three-year-old would love this.
What a fantastic material! My class would love this! Land and water forms are one of their favorites and I know the kids would appreciate working with it.
