There are so many great books for spring simply because there are so many great spring themes. I could probably list 100 more books here. Some topics that you could explore this spring include birds, weather, life cycles, flowers, and gardening. I tried to include some from most of these themes!

2. A Nest Full of Eggs / Spring / Have You Heard the Nesting Bird? / Spring Board Book / Flowers Are Calling

3. Rain or Shine / If You Hold a Seed / Bloom: An Ode to Spring / Hello Spring! / People in Spring

4. Spring is Here! / Weather in Spring / Spring for Sophie / How a Seed Grows / Flower Garden

5. Let It Rain / Spring Walk / Up in the Garden and Down in the Dirt / Everything Spring / Jack's Garden

After I made this list, I pulled out some of our own books and realized that I complete forgot to include And Then It's Spring! This is another excellent choice that both my kids love.

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!

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.

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, 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.
