Teaching Toddlers about Fall with the Montessori 3-Period Lesson

September 29, 2015 By Deb Chitwood 1 Comment

How can toddlers understand seasons? Well, they can’t, really. But with the Montessori 3-period lesson, you can give your toddler a good introduction to the seasons (or any concept).

Teaching Toddlers about Fall with the Montessori 3-Period Lesson

We’ve been introducing my 22-month-old granddaughter, Zoey, to fall concepts. That’s a bit tricky, since we live in San Diego. Where we have fall themes available in real life, we let Zoey have hands-on experiences with them. Some fall themes are introduced or reinforced through pictures. Here’s how we used the 3-period lesson to introduce fall pictures to Zoey.

Disclosure: I was given a copy of the Montessori Print Shop toddler bundle. All opinions are honest and my own. This post also contains affiliate links (at no cost to you).

We started with a DIY fall book using the Montessori Print Shop autumn season cards from the Toddler Bundle. Zoey LOVES these DIY books, as you’ll see in the video below. Even though a book isn’t necessarily part of the Montessori 3-period lesson, it gave us an extra way to use the 1st period.

Just yesterday, one of our neighbors added three scarecrows to their lawn decorations. Zoey was so excited after being introduced to them with her autumn book and cards. She even had to kiss each of the scarecrows. Autumn book and cards and Montessori 3-period lesson … priceless! 🙂
