Montessori at Home
We are approaching the beautiful yet busy Autumn season. This time of year is filled with the magic and sparkle that change brings, when the leaves begin to fade and fall, reminding us how lovely it can be to just let things go… to exhale. It is also a time of wonder and exploration for children as they feel those first crisp fall morning breezes. There is something so special about the memories this season brings to us as adults, and it is important for us to remember how we developed these touchstones. Grandma’s cranberry sauce simmering on the stove, crisp scents of cinnamon and apple baking in the oven, fond visions of colorful sunsets and cracking wood as while we gather around our first fires of the season and the days shorten a tad. How about that sticky feeling of pulling fibrous strands and slippery seeds out of pumpkins and gourds? It is a time to gather and make memories. We feel coziness in our hearts as we spend quality time with family, neighbors, and friends. Autumn also brings harvest and is a time of abundance. Autumn reminds us of the power of gratitude and giving. It is a time to share, a time to reflect, and a time to help. There is much to anticipate especially with the holiday season trailing closely behind.
To help you plan for the months ahead, our Lead Guides have comprised lists of their favorite things to encourage Montessori at Home activities for each age group. As you begin to consider holiday gifts for your kiddos, we hope this will serve as a reference. Tip: Share this with your loved ones who may wonder what to gift your child(ren) with!
