Montessori-Inspired Heart and Circulatory System Activities

February is Heart Health Month or American Heart Month … a great time for a unit study of the human heart and circulatory system! You could just put out a few heart activities in honor of the month, or your heart unit could be part of a thorough study of anatomy.

Here are some great Montessori-inspired resources for a heart and circulatory system unit. They aren’t all designed as Montessori activities, but they’re hands-on activities that would work well in a Montessori program or homeschool.
