I had decided to change out Cameron's shelves in his classroom, but by the time I got the Chika Chika Boom Boom bookcase and the Alphabet bookcase set up, I was kinda over setting up tray works:( The other shelves I usually save for traditional Montessori. Hate to admit it, but these aren't my best efforts...
Tonging with spiky balls
This work is leftover from his farm unit. I wasn't going to put it out, but he found it in the pile of stuff I was putting away and liked it so much he carried it around with him for a while:) It's pretty basic Montessori; categorizing plant or animal.
My little man *hates* to brush his teeth and fights me on it every day! I've tried making it a fun game, getting him the expensive Cars toothpaste, getting a Spinbrush... no luck. So, here is a tooth brushing work:) This giant dino head unscrews on the bottom and holds a whole mess of dinos and trees. We got it at the Thanksgiving point Dinosaur Museum. I put a big rock in the bottom to steady it so he doesn't know it over.
Look familiar? It's leftover from his Halloween works. I traded out the medium for fall leaves.
Kiddo still loves stamping. Here are letter stamps from HL
The button snake re-appears! He is much better at this work since the first time I introduced it.
Can't have a Montessori shelf without a pouring activity:)
Spooning plastic acorns; these are also left over from the Halloween unit.
Just for fun:) Can't have all work and no play!!
**********Update!!
I made a few changes :) First, I finally put up the Alphabet Train poster pieces that have been sitting in my closet for months. Cameron loves them!! 'Wow Mamma, look! ABCs and a firetruck!'
Remember how I was saying Cam really didn't like his Fall sensory bin? I switched it out for a shorter bin, and he has actually seemed a little more interested. The old one was narrow and tall; a silly design:) Um, what else? Oh, I found another coconut tree window gel. He seriously cannot get enough of those!
I decided that Cam's little magnet board looked kinda sparse, so I put together a counting activity. I just took felt number stickers and stuck 'em to heavy card stock, then cut them down to a manageable size. Then I took some Pom Poms and stuck small magnets on the back. He has played with it a few times already! "Mamma, what's that oh doing there?"
