Moon Phase Wooden Coins
You can find these Moon Phase Cut-Out Coins in my mini unit called The Moon and its Phases. For use with the unit you don’t have to affix them to wooden coins, but in doing so you can create something your child will use again and again.
We use our Moon Phases Wooden Coins to count, to stack, to order, and along with our Moon Phases Montessori 3 Part Cards.
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!).
