It has been about 3 months since Derin (27 months) started attending to a Montessori nursery. He only goes two days a week, for 3 hours but it has had a huge impact. I love how he puts an activity back on the shelf when he is finished! I really enjoy observing his development. As he gets closer to 2.5 years,his attention span is getting longer.
Here are some activites we have been doing recently.
 |
| Knobbed cylinders |
These knobbed cylinders are great for fine motor skills and they teach children so much about dimensions.
 |
| Playing with wooden shapes:Here he is making a train! |
 |
| Opposites puzzle |
We have just started playing with puzzles. He is getting better at connecting them. I love this opposites puzzle because it opens up lots conversations.
 |
| Getting really good at this! |
 |
| Wooden shape sorter |
 |
| Matching the colours of the wooden objects |

Introduction to sandpaper numbers

Derin is showing great interest in numbers and letters at the moment,so I introduced these sandpaper numbers. He loves tracing them.

My 2.5yo would love this! I need to put together some Montessori activities for her.
ReplyDeleteGreat activities! None of the Montessori schools around us go only two days a week, so that's great you have that option where you live.
ReplyDeleteThese look great - we don't really have any montessori style toys but they do look fab.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing on Family Frolics - I love your support and your posts! :)
fab ideas will be certain to look into further. I've only just started hearing about Montessori on here x
ReplyDeleteSuper ideas! We just love Montessori Materials!
ReplyDeleteI think it's fantastic you can see the developmental changes in him and even better that you're keeping a record of his development. What a baby book journal he'll get when he's older!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of sandpaper numbers.
