Montessori Inspired Easter Shelves.



Nothing speaks LOVE like Easter - "There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends". John 15:13
This is the time when I try to show children different side of love - painful, uncomfortable, difficult. Love which presents scarifies and gives up comfort. It can be love for mum and dad  - listening, love for yourself - making right healthy choices, love for friends - letting them to have turn first, love for work - see every work done, love for other - keeping promises. 
The children need to see that rewards for these sacrifices are so sweet and pleasant, they help them gain something that can not be seen but lasts forever. 

During Group time I tell the story of Palm Sunday. Did you know that palm is the most flexible tree? No matter how hard the wind is - it can't break palm tree. I always loved this verse from Psalm 92: "The righteous shall flourish like the palm-tree". I thought it's quite amazing. 

We look into the parts of a palm leaf and talk about why people in those days used palm leafs to greet Jesus. I encouraged children to reenact this story and they make craft with palm leafs

Later we play "pin donkey's tail" game  which they usually find hilarious.

Here are some Easter Montessori shelves activities to encourage work on developing hand grip, finger strength, concentration, fine motor skills, etc. These are activities on transferring, sorting, matching, colouring and cutting.
