Montessori Must-Haves
These are the items we use several times each week, if not daily. We are not a strictly Montessori family, but we are Montessori-style. So don’t freak out if some of things items are completely traditional materials. My husband’s job has us move fairly frequently, so schools, and learning styles, and standards tend to change. What I like about Montessori-style learning is that is goes with us.
DIY Galaxy Space Dough
There are lots of galaxy dough or space dough recipes floating around Pinterest. I hate the texture of most commercial play dough and have a hard time with how piece-y it can get as it dries. This DIY tutorial utilizes Crayola Model Magic modeling material. You can absolutely use your own homemade dough recipes or Play-Doh brand dough. Personally, I find the modeling material to be less messy and we have a no slime rule in our house (I know! I’m so mean!).
