“You will teach them to fly, but they will not fly your flight.
You will teach them to dream, but they will not dream your dream.
You will teach them to live, but they will not live your life.
Nevertheless, in every flight, in every life, in every dream,
the print of the way you taught them will remain.”
Mother Teresa

Color Mixing
This is such a fun, easy way to introduce color mixing! I think most kiddos love any chance they get to play with water and this is no exception! I used a big tub, glass containers and jars from the kitchen, these fun pipettes, and food coloring. I started out just...
Montessori Smelling Bottles
One thing I love about Montessori is that it encourages the development of all five senses - sight, hearing, taste, smell and touch through hands on learning. This is simple, inexpensive, and offers endless opportunities to modify and build upon. Since this was...
