Yarn and burlap. One of my favorite early sewing acitivities. This is usually shown to a 3 year old, however, it is repeated by older children with more skill and precision. This one has added sequin eyes 👻

Spring time sewing with yarn and burlap this week!
Spent the evening last night at our local zoo lights with our now “practically grown” kids.
I like to remember that we don’t have to “do it all” every year to make special memories. We haven’t been to these lights since our children were very young. The season is about staying connected and present with our families and loved ones
Wishing you all a light and bright holiday season

Look closely. It’s “a skeleton”. I love how art has SO many valuable learning moments. From manual dexterity, motor control, creativity, expression. And so much more! 🩻💀
Exploring the ENTIRE world to foster a deep sense of connection to ALL places 🌍🌎🌏

Montessori gives the child the freedom to create, explore, practice and refine. Love this work re-created by a third year student.
And we KNOW all the younger children (and peers) were observing and joined in on his excitement when he finished ⭐️⭐️
It’s HOLIDAY SALE time!!!!

When my children were young they LOVED going outside for ANY reason! In the fall we would collect leaves. Now that they are older they love outdoor water sports, camping and hiking. Nature is a bond that never fails 🍁❄️⭐️
We went to see this amazing giant troll sculpture today. We sure did feel small standing it that cottage looking up at that giant face. Perspective ⭐️⭐️
What a great resource!

I love being able to capture moments like these….. a child (among 16 other children) is reading a Halloween book… one that he loves… so engrossed… so happy… so fulfilled….
THIS is the essence Montessori ……
…not certain materials or plans we have…. Just being… content, fulfilled, engaged, happy, and so calm….
This is childhood ❤️⭐️
Sometimes we just need to sit with a bunch of mini pumpkins. 🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃

Relaxing with my family at the coast to reset and recharge! Time away from home can be a great time to focus on family without the daily distractions of housework, jobs, school or other daily routines. ❤️⭐️
Here in the PCNW it’s a great time to have a “nature walk” with our children. Go at their pace and see what they discover. 🍂🍁🍃
