Montessori Land, Air, and Water Activities

Geography can be lots of fun when it begins with hands-on activities. One of the first Montessori geography activities that you’ll ideally introduce to your preschooler early in the school year is land, air, and water. I already talked about land, air, and water in relation to transportation.

2022 Update: If you sign up for my weekly newsletter, you’ll receive a free geography album by Karen Tyler, a certified AMS teacher, who recently retired from teaching her online KHT Montessori training program. She’s given me her geography album to share with my newsletter subscribers! Starting on page 47 of the album, you’ll find thorough directions for introducing land, air, and water.

Montessori by Mom has a wonderful Land, Water, Air Toolbox with resources that are helpful for any land, water, and air activities.

Here’s my roundup of Montessori resources for land, air, and water transportation activities.
