My Favorite Montessori Bloggers

The more I have started to learn about and incorporate Montessori into my home and parenting, the more I realized that it was easy to get lost in the immense amount of resources available online. So many, in fact, that it is easy to become overwhelmed. Recently, I've been asked by a few different people for a list of my favorite online Montessori resources. So, thought I would share a list with everyone.

In no particular order, my favorite Montessori Blogs/Bloggers are:

Living Montessori Now: Some of you may recognize this blog from my tot school posts. I link up with Montessori Monday. This site's resources are incredible to learn about the basics of Montessori and how to in all sorts of early learning. I could spend hours looking through all the blogs that link up on Mondays!

Montessori MOMents: Montessori at work in a home school setting. She has great ideas, especially for older kids.

Vibrant Wanderings: This blog has excellent information about Montessori principals and philosophy.

How We Montessori: Another home school site. I particularly love the information about setting up Montessori inspired spaces in your home.

Carrots are Orange: All sorts of interesting activities and ideas, plus information on Montessori principals.

Pinterest Linkup: Living Montessori Now has an excellent link up for Montessori bloggers where you can find tons of really amazing boards! Including Me.

I'm of course forgetting a million awesome sites, but if you're interested in learning about Montessori, I think these are a really great place to start. And just to be clear, I have no affiliation with these blogs, just admiring their work!

Do you have any you would add to the list? Do you blog about Montessori or tot school? Leave a comment, I love reading new blogs!

The Ultimate Montessori Toy List -- Birth to Five -- UPDATED 2020

When you are interested in Montessori, it can be difficult to know exactly what types of products you should get for your home. Or which types of "Montessori" materials are really worth the price. There are no rules about types of products can use the name Montessori which can add to the confusion. Not to mention, every toy manufacturer slaps the word "educational" on the package for good measure! 2020 UPDATE: This list is updated for another year! Enjoy a variety of Montessori friendly finds from both major retailers and smaller shops! So, with this post, I'm going to try to help with this confusion! Here's a list of Montessori-friendly toys and materials for babies, toddlers and preschoolers. First, let's clarify that there is no such thing as a "Montessori toy." Montessori never created toys, but only works for classroom settings. While there are many works that I recommend for home school use, you won't find these

Sensitive Periods from Birth to 6 - A Chart and Guide

Dr. Maria Montessori spent her life observing, studying, and writing about children. During her lifetime of work she discovered that young children move through a series of special times when they are particularly attracted to specific developmental needs and interests. She called these times, sensitive periods. During the sensitive period, children learn skills related to the sensitive period with ease. They don't tire of that work, but seek it, crave it and need it. When the sensitive period passes, this intense desire is gone, never to return. That doesn't mean the skill is lost forever once the sensitive period is over. Instead, it just means that it will take a more conscious effort to learn. As Dr. Montessori explains, This post contains affiliate links at no cost to you. "A child learns to adjust himself and make acquisitions in his sensitive periods. These are like a beam that lights interiorly a battery that furnishes energy. It is this sensibility which enables

Our Kids' Montessori Gift Lists 2020

With the holiday season upon us we've been making lists and gathering gifts for the Kavanaugh children. It's always a fun process of observing my children, seeing what they would really be interested in and making some decisions based on what I see. This year is different because I'm also making decisions knowing that we are looking at a very long and quiet winter ahead. So that's influencing the amount I will buy and the specific choices I will/have made. Henry and Nora are also at the point, being into the second plane of development, where they heavily influence the items on the list and what is ultimately purchased. So, you'll see that while Montessori influences what I will purchase and what goes on their list, so does their own preferences and personality. This post contains affiliate links at no cost to you. Theodore Teddy is 14-months-old right now and as the fourth baby, we have so many toddler things. But, there are a few things I've still found tha
