warriormom Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 If you were to pick 1 or 2 must-read books on Montessori education for 3-6 year old, which books would you pick? What would be the top toys/ activities that you would recommend to buy or make for a 3-4 year old? Any tips, tricks or advice on a homeschool Montessori education?

mom&nana Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 A great ebook is Montessori At Home by John Bowman and it's a great price too. He recently updated it and I think it is really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brendag Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I used a lot of the ideas out of these and they are very affordable! Laid out really nice as well. http://www.newchildmontessori.com/ Brenda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That curriculum looks great. But I have a question. How much time do you realistically dedicate to doing it? I'd love to do something similar with my girls but ... condensing it down seems like I'd be tearing out the whole beauty of it all. And I have a full load with my ds this year.

Elizabeth Hainstock's Teaching Montessori in the Home books are great (she has one for preschool and one for elementary) and Tim Seldin's How to Raise an Amazing Child the Montessori Way is a beautiful, accessible and excellent introduction to Montessori.

Amy in KS Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Basic montessori by David Gettman is excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serendipitous journey Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I wish I'd found this source for Montessori manuals earlier. For the price, they yield a lot; I esp. like the manuals for the 3-6 ages ("early childhood"). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
