The Ultimate Guide to Montessori-Inspired Leaf Resources and Activities

September 12, 2017 By Deb Chitwood

I love living in San Diego, but I do feel nostalgic for swaths of brilliant fall colors. With all the amazing leaf resources, though, it’s possible to enjoy leaf activities in the fall and throughout the year wherever you live. Today, I want to share a variety of Montessori-inspired leaf resources. Many are for any time of year or can be adapted for any climate.

Alison’s Montessori has a large number of  leaf materials. I’ve reviewed a number of Alison’s Montessori value-price materials, which are great for homeschools. I’ve been very happy with their quality. On orders of $75 or more from the Alison’s Montessori online store, my readers can save $10 by using coupon code LMN at checkout!

I always love materials from Montessori Services. They have lots of Montessori-inspired leaf products, including child-size rakes.
