Christmas is just around the corner, and I am so excited to share what’s within our preschool unit in this happiest and most colorful time of the year! These activities are perfect for home and school settings. They are designed for preschoolers and kindergartens specifically for kids ages 3 to 6 years old.
Fun Thermometer Reading in Space
Thursday, November 1, 2018
Vito loved our penguin thermometer reading activity , and because of this, I have to include something similar in our Outerspace Preschool Mini Unit. This is great for learning how to recognize “tens” and how to read a thermometer.
Christmas Themed Counting Activities
Monday, October 29, 2018
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.

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!
Learning about Insects for Home and School
Thursday, September 6, 2018
Assembling unit studies is one of the things that I like doing. Last summer, we worked on insects and I made a compilation of work which the boys did over the years on learning about these amazing animals. You will absolutely love these ideas and they are perfect for kids from 5 to 10 years old.
Preschool Learning Zoo Unit Pack
Wednesday, July 18, 2018
I am so happy to share our Zoo Preschool Literacy and Preschool Math Learning Materials with you. Like our popular Ocean Unit Preschool Learning Materials, our Zoo Unit also contains 30 fantastic and engaging learning activities that your little ones will definitely love! Below are some of the activities that Vito worked on early this month to give you an idea of what learning activities can be done with these unique materials.
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.
Preschool Unit Ocean Learning Pack
Friday, June 15, 2018
Summer is finally here, and look what I have for you! 30 OCEAN THEME ACTIVITIES for your PRESCHOOLERS are all about sea life and the ocean! This learning pack is a collection of activities we worked on for years at home with my two boys and has everything you need for weeks or month-long learning. These are engaging, educational, and, most importantly, fun! Most activities encourage the parent/teacher to use manipulatives, promoting hands-on and play-based learning. These activities are designed for 3-4 years old (preschoolers or kindergarten), and they aim to immerse the child in the concepts rather than force them to memorize them.
Montessori Inspired Dinosaur Activity Trays for Preschoolers
Saturday, April 14, 2018
This is a long overdue post because we’ve been doing a lot of outdoor activities lately. Most kids are really fascinated with dinosaurs, especially my eldest who’s obsessed with these prehistoric animals. So last Easter break, we revisited some of our dinosaur activities and introduced new ones to Vito. Here’s a roundup of our dinosaur activities which both of the kids enjoyed during the break and I hope your kids will love this too.
Life Cycle Activities for Kids
Tuesday, April 3, 2018
Life cycles have fascinated my kids throughout the years. We often worked on them during springtime, but I would sometimes add them in our animal or plant studies too. I’m often asked how do I introduce this subject area to my kids and I would always say that it really depends on their age and interest. For the young ones, it’s all about play-based learning and storytelling. While for older kids, they are drawn towards the details and the science behind them.
To give you an idea, here’s our progressive way of learning the life cycles.

Montessori Multiplication: Extension Work
Thursday, March 22, 2018
My son wants to master his multiplication tables, especially for bigger numbers. We are using both the Chinese/Singapore math (abstraction) method and Montessori when it comes to mastering his mathematical skills. For Montessori, though we have the Multiplication board, Mavi prefers using the colored beads as these keep him engaged and he thinks that they are more “fun”. With this, I am so excited to share the learning materials we use to aid his mastery of multiplication using extension activities that goes perfectly with the Montessori colored beads.
These learning materials were very helpful, and my son enjoyed working on the extension activities. The best thing about these learning materials is that they grow with your child and you can print them again and again so your child can practice each multiplication table through the years.
Fruit Unit: Inside and Out Matching Activity
Monday, March 19, 2018
We had a fabulous time last weekend examining the insides of fruits. We did a similar activity years ago, but I didn’t want to put paints on fruits this time so I made this gorgeous matching learning material for Vito to work around with instead of recreating the insides using paints. More details on this fruit learning material here. This is easy to prepare and fun to work with kids!
Landmarks Around the World
Tuesday, March 13, 2018
Vito had a sudden interest in naming landmarks. He was fascinated with the pyramids after watching a show about kids exploring ancient sites like the pyramids in Egypt and the great walls of China. I immediately showed some of our travel photos featuring these landmarks in the background. He was shocked that I had been to some of those places. With this, I introduced him to some other places around the world.
Animal Kingdom 3 Part Cards and Charts
Thursday, March 8, 2018
I am so excited to share these beautiful learning materials I created for my boys. Mavi, my 9 year old is currently the one using this for school, but Vito ended up using some of the activities as he loves to work on his older brother’s materials too. So this is our Animal Kingdom Cards and Charts set. The main objective of this material is to introduce the different classifications/groups of animals to your child. We have an older version of this, and you can check it out here (Kingdoms of Life: Animal Kingdom) if you are interested. Anyway, allow me to discuss some of the highlights of this learning material below, so you can have a better idea of what you will be getting when you purchase this for your child or your school.
Identifying 2D Shapes in Real Life Objects
Tuesday, March 6, 2018
I want to share how much we love these activity cards on 2D shapes that I made last year so Vito and I can practice identifying the shapes of objects that he gets to see almost everyday. As I mentioned in my Instagram post, before working on these cards, we first looked around the house for objects with shapes of square, triangle, oval, rectangle, and circle. Then at times, we also play I spy games on shapes and objects, and other times it’s more of “give me something that has a shape of … “. We had fun doing this!
Identifying Common Flowers for Preschoolers
Tuesday, February 27, 2018
Is it spring in your part of the world? Well, it’s far from spring here but we are already starting to see spring flowers sprouting and blooming everywhere. During our daily walks, Vito loves spotting these flowers and is identifying them. It comes in handy that I have already prepared some learning materials to go along with this new discoveries. Just like last year, we used these flower cards to name the spring flowers that we see in the park and in our estate.
A Walkthrough of Animal Study for Preschoolers
Monday, February 26, 2018
This coming spring, I will be introducing the zoology album of Montessori early childhood to Vito. We did a couple of animal study last year but it was mainly for introduction and familiarization. This year, our homeschool activities will be in line with the album I bought from Montessori Parent. Of course, I will not follow the album word by word as I try not to replicate the Montessori classroom in our home and I don’t possess other classroom materials. But it will still be spontaneous and hands-on. In this post I will talk about the album, the materials I prepared, and my plans on how we are going to approach the “hands-on” aspect of the study.
