Our new favorite geography game

Here’s a video of my daughter playing the new geography game  we invented:

A few months ago I found this National Geographic world map and decided to glue it to a foam board to see if my daughter was interested in learning the continents.

Then, on our recent airplane trips we brought a small ball/globe and she started to show a real interest in geography, learning the names and locations of several countries.

When we got home we started to play a new game with the world map. We put her toy animals on their countries of origin. She loves it! read more

New Shelves!

 My dad came to visit last weekend and we whipped together these new shelves for all of Julia’s Montessori work. She loves seeing her activities so beautifully displayed and we built these shelves with minimal tools. Success!
