The giveaway is now closed. See update after the Rafflecopter form for the announcement of the 3 winners!
Montessori Print Shop is offering $60.49 worth of Montessori materials for $19.95 to everyone who purchases the Montessori at Home! Materials Bundle (a steal)!
I’ve just emerged from being absorbed in John Bowman’s newly revised e-book Montessori at Home: The Complete Guide to Doing Montessori Early Learning Activities at Home.
Montessori at Home e-book
This is a book you can totally lose track of time with. Even if you’re an experienced Montessorian, there are so many links to videos, articles, and other online resources that you can spend hours discovering new resources and revisiting sites that have become like old friends.

And those are just the links! Here are some of the things you can find in Montessori at Home:
- 296 pages filled with helpful Montessori content
- Introduction to Montessori education
- Ideas on how to get started using Montessori activities at home right away (with your child’s help – a feature I appreciate)
100 Bead Chain with Pointers from Printable in Book (Photo from Montessori at Home)
- Information about the materials you’ll need and where you can find them (with an amazing number of links throughout the book)
- Directions for making materials that can be made easily at home
- Over 250 early-learning activities with lots and lots of photos and links to helpful articles online
- Printable materials (pages 254-296)
It’s easiest to see what the e-book is really about by seeing some of the content for yourself:

- If you want more information about the book, I have 3 excerpts from the new edition of Montessori at Home in these two posts: Activities with Marbles and Golf Tees and Building a Flashlight and Pipe Building.
- Here’s a link to many sample pages. (Note: While you’re there, check out all the information at the new Montessori at Home site and blog!)
John Bowman also has a condensed version of the e-book available in paperback. It’s titled Help Your Preschooler Build a Better Brain: Early Learning Activities for 2-6 Year Old Children. But whether or not you want the paperback version, too, I can’t see a reason why a person with a young child or grandchild wouldn’t want to own the newly revised e-book!
Disclosure: I was given a copy of John Bowman’s book but was not required to write a positive review. My opinions are my own.
Montessori Print Shop Materials Bundle
As awesome as John Bowman’s e-book is, that’s not all this giveaway is about! Jennifer at Montessori Print Shop put together a bundle of 21 printable materials to complement the activities in John Bowman’s Montessori at Home e-book!

I already own Montessori at Home, a fabulous resource, which I would love to give to my sister. I love Montessori Print Shop and subscribe to their newsletters. They have such great 3-part cards and other printables, and I don’t have any yet.
We’ve just started using Montessori with our youngest daughter. I love MPS materials! These learning materials would be a big help!
I have a 2.5 year old that loves Montessori materials. I am doing as much as I can at home and this book and materials seem like they would be a huge help to me! I would love to win them 😉
I would love to try Montessori materials at home. My kids go to a Montessori pre-school now and would love to be able to continue on at home.
I am a Montessori directress and i would love to win because it is always great to have some new ideas and materials for the children and to share with my co-workers.
Would LOVE to win! The book and materials look amazing! This IS a great giveaway. Thanks!
I just bought the old edition of the book about a week before the new edition came out. I would love to get the updated version without paying again so soon. Since I am adding Montessori in, MPS is my new dear friend and we need more supplies. This is a great giveaway.
My Montessori school in Argentina really needs new materials and the giveaway would be sooooooo helpful !
John Bowman’s Montessori at Home e-book and the Montesorri Print Shop bundle would be a wonderful resource to assist me in teaching my three young children at home. We are very new to Montessorri and currently have no other resources other than what is available on the internet. Thank you for offering this great prize. The ideas on the sample pages look fantastic. How wonderful that there are also printables and links to other resources also included. Wonderful!
I would love to win because my daughter attends Montessori School and this will be a great way to reinforce the lessons she learns there at home.
Thank you for this giveaway!
I’d like to win because I could use these materials with my daughter!
I’m always looking for ways ro expand my Montessori knowledge, this would be a great way to do so!
My son is really enjoying home preschool, and this would be a GREAT book to add to our learning library!! Thanks for this giveaway.
I’d love to win, as I helped raise two young boys that attended Montessori schools. I have my first child (8 months old) but can’t afford to send her to a Montessori school, so would LOVE to do the curriculum at home!
I’d love to win in this giveaway because I don’t have any Montessori book, and I’d like to work with my kids that way more then I did till now. I just think that having this book would make my job much easier and also much better.
I would like to win the Montessori at Home e-book and Montessori Print Shop materials bundle for my daughter. She is new to homeschooling and we both like the Montessori way of learning.
It will save lots of time and money to prepare materials for my children. And money is always tight.
This looks really great! I’m fostering 2 girls who came to me from a background of severe neglect, and this would be great for them!
Even though they’ve come a long way, they still have quite a bit more to go. This would be especially great since this year I plan on setting up a more formal learning space for them.
New activities would help me do that so much more effectively!
What a great giveaway. So many terrific ideas. I’ll need someone to offer a giveaway of more free time in order to try them all!
I love Montessori and just took my oral exam yesterday to be a Montessori directress! Wooohooo, this would be a great addition to my Montessori world!!
