Can you believe that it’s Christmas time in less than 2 months? With this holiday season coming, I’d like to share this fun Christmas tree decorating and counting activity. I made this last year but didn’t make it to the blog and shop. The boys had so much fun putting “decors” into their tree with playdough. You might want to check this out.

Seasonal Pattern Blocks Mats (with FREE Download)
Friday, October 19, 2018
I am so excited to share the latest craze in our house lately, the pattern block mats! I made these printable materials because my boys are totally obsessed with making “pictures” and objects using our pattern blocks (bought from Amazon). We own this and the magnetic version since Vito was a baby but the boys’ needs keep growing and I decided to provide them with picture mats so they can create not just plain pattern block objects but objects that integrate in beautiful backgrounds for a more imaginative play. The best thing about this printable is that we can print and reuse them over and over again!

Wednesday, September 12, 2018
I am so excited to present our beautiful Fall Autumn Preschool Unit Pack (also for kindergarten). I carefully designed this one big bundle so my child and yours will have the best experience in learning about this colourful autumn season. Like all of our MEGA PACKS, this unit contains 30 hands-on learning activities your kids will truly enjoy. Below are some of the activities that we have started working on already. Some of the materials included in this pack are old activities from last year, which I haven't shared and published, and Vito still loves doing them!
Life Cycle of Apples for Preschoolers
Sunday, September 9, 2018
Autumn time is apple season and the perfect time to learn about them! We started our "apple" week last Monday, and today, Vito and I just finished learning where apples came from. I was so inspired by our Water Cycle activity (Vito loved this activity so much!) that I decided to do the same approach with our Apple study.
Montessori Teens and Tens Extension Work
Sunday, September 2, 2018
A few weeks ago, I shared some of the extension works that Vito was doing on the teens and the tens on my Instagram. We didn't own the complete set of Sequin Boards, so I decided to make our own materials to do more exercises and not be limited by the boards. I have talked about learning about teens the Montessori way here and in this post. In this post, I will give you a walk-through of how we learn more about the tens and how we practice counting bigger numbers (from 11 to 100).

Learning About Number Bonds for Kids
Sunday, August 19, 2018
Help your child understand number bonds with our fun and engaging learning materials. They are so easy to use and prepare! These number bond activities will aid your kids, and students in understanding "Parts of a whole", basic addition, subtraction, and number recognition. These will keep your little ones engaged as these learning materials encourage the use of manipulatives which promote hands-on learning and real-world experience in object manipulation and counting.
Back to School: Our Math Learning Resources
Sunday, August 12, 2018
We are using Montessori Math albums in our homeschool so our math works revolve mostly on classic Montessori materials. I also integrate seasonal activities in our learning activities to add some twist. I got my albums from Montessori Parent and KHT Montessori for early childhood. These are amazing resources that have helped me understand the order of materials to use and basically how to use them. We tend to do a lot of extension works, something that are not included in most of these albums. I share these activities mostly in my Instagram account and hopefully I will have some time to share them here in the blog as well.
Note that this list is for our personal homeschooling only. It doesn’t reflect what’s in a Montessori classroom. The list serves as my guide in the subject area and Vito's possible activities this school year. Although I have a plan and a guide it doesn’t mean that Vito is forced to work on all of these for the next 10 months. Depending on Vito's interest and progress, we will choose which activity to do and prioritize.

Learning Number Bonds with Ten Frames
Saturday, July 7, 2018
Years ago, I made a post about number bonds and how my eldest used it at home to learn basic addition. And now I’m working with it again with Vito, my almost 5 years old boy. Months ago, he discovered the joy of adding numbers using his fingers so we started with basic addition using the Montessori Addition board. He got tired with it quite a bit so I introduced number bonds.
Spin and Trace: Alphabet Writing Game for Preschoolers
Sunday, June 24, 2018
Last month, I made these tracing and writing sheets for Vito to add some spice in his writing activities. He loves the salt tray and Montessori sandpaper, but these sheets are so helpful as they require less preparation and no mess. The activity sheet requires you to create a spinner using a paper clip and a pencil (or a pushpin if you have one). Colored pencils or markers are also needed.
