Montessori Fun in February
I found the neatest little heart stencils at Wal-Mart.
The hearts had a spiral gear in them, very similar to the Spirograph! I showed the girls how to use it, and they were ecstatic!
Poetry work. We almost have these memorized.
We’re also memorizing “The Caterpillar” with First Language Lessons for the Well-Trained Mind: Level 1 (Second Edition) (First Language Lessons).
.
What’s in the box?
math FFG and weaving sea critters.
Play dough girls.
We made pumpkin pie (smells good!) play dough and “snow” (just add glitter) play dough. Get our play dough recipes!
We started a morning message page with calendar time and the girls really like that it’s personal. It encourages them to read and follow directions. Sometimes they highlight sight words or draw a
certain colored shape at the bottom. I always ask for a hug!
Nature art with contact paper and nature-y stuff…We still have snow on the ground, so they really had to hunt for things to make a collage. It was really bright out.
Tori’s finished collage. I love the lines.
Happy Valentine’s Day!

They look like they are having a blast. How did you make the pumpkin play dough. I bet it smells yummy. I am a new Twitter follower visiting from Crafty Mom Share. Vicky from Mess For Less

I used to love those gear stencils when I was a kid – I’ll have to be on the lookout for them! I’m a new follower – you’ve got some great ideas and since I’m just getting started, I’ll be checking back often! Hope you can stop by! :)
