I am SO glad you wrote this post. I am having a baby by the end of the year and I have been wondering what Montessori activities are available for babies. Now I have a huge list of resources. Thanks!

Congrats on being a grandma soon! These are some really helpful resources. I really like the Montessori idea and would like to start doing a homeschool preschool following some of these concepts once I start staying at home full time with my kids.
Thanks for linking up with the Tuesday baby link up a few weeks ago. I hope to see you again this week.
