More Than a Year’s Worth of Freebies and Montessori-Inspired Activities

December 27, 2012 By Deb Chitwood 25 Comments

Previous article: Montessori-Inspired Kids’ Gift Wrapping Activities
Next article: Montessori-Inspired Activities for the New Year

Since December 15, 2011, I’ve published a Montessori-inspired post at PreK + K Sharing on the 15th of each month. Except for my introductory post in November 2011, each of my posts at PreK + K Sharing gives links to free printables from around the blogosphere and ideas for creating Montessori-inspired activities using the free printables.

More Than a Year's Worth of Freebies and Montessori-Inspired Activities

My posts typically fit with a Montessori-inspired unit study or a seasonal or holiday theme. Today, I want to share some photos and links to my last 13 posts at PreK + K Sharing. Except for the Olympic math activities, the resources will work for schools and homeschools in 2013, too! I typically include a range of activities for skill levels from preschool through first grade. You’ll often find ideas for presenting the activities as well.

    It’s pretty amazing to see everything gathered into one spot, isn’t it?

    Your work and sharing over at PreK+K have been so wildly helpful for everyone in the field.

    I tip my hat! Happiest of New Years!

    This is a wonderful resource for parents and teachers. I love having it in one spot for when parents are looking for things to do at home. We’re so glad you have started sharing on our After School Link up each week from both sites. As you know we believe that Parents are a child’s first teacher and we love sharing amazing resources for them.
