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 would love to try it! I haven’t used it before
I use many of the Montessori Print Shop materials and the ebook seems like a great resource
I have enrolled into a Montessori teacher’s training programme so this would be very useful.Thanks for the chance.
I am currently reading John Bowman’s book and I find it very helpful for a complete beginner as I am. I’d like to win this giveaway so that I can give this book as a present to a good friend of mine who is also interested in Montessori inspired learning (so it will be a giveaway’s giveaway)
Would love to read this as I am learning more and wondering about how to incorporate this philosophy in the teaching of my girls here at home. This is our first year of homeschooling.
For us Montessori is not just an educational method, it is a lifestyle. These materials will enhance our lives and improve our ability to guide our children in their work at home.
SOOO anxious to get started Montessori-ing!!;)
I would LOVE to have more materials to use for lessons!
It would be great if I could get this ! Thanks!
Would love to use this with my daughter as well as my preschool class!
A beautiful giveaway. Would love to get the materials to use at home with my son and to share as ideas on my blog and in family centers.
This is a wonderful package! My older son was able to go to a Montessori school, but we moved away before my younger son could begin. I’m planning to do a more structured home environment with him after the first of the year, and this would be perfect!
Oh what a great giveaway! I’d love to be able to use this with my son (and newest baby who is due at any moment). I have run out of ideas of fun things to do so this would be awesome!
I would love this bundle! I am always looking for new Montessori ideas for my three young boys!
What an awesome giveaway! We are just starting our Montessori homeschooling adventure, so both of these prizes would be a huge help! I’ve actually had John Bowman’s first book on my wish list for awhile now, I’d be so excited to have the updated version!
I have a 3 year old who is dying to “do school” like big brother. I have tried a couple of montessori techniques with her with great success!! Thanks so much!!

I am in constant search to compile work for my son and have been overwhelmed and slightly discouraged. I see all these amazing blogs and wonder how everyone does it. I am inspired to say the least.
It would be a blessing to enjoy this give away gift. I am sure we all try to be resourceful as times are rough! Thanks for the opportunity!
What an awesome giveaway! I would be thrilled to win this.
I would LOVE to win these items! I’m in my first year homeschooling my son (age 5), and have two children younger than him. I know the materials would be put to good use for years and years!
It would be a great asset to the classroom.
