Here are our recent activities. Isn't it amazing to watch them grow and learn at such a great pace! Taking my girl to Montessori Children's house two days a week has really facilitated in boosting her interaction skills, her ability to adopt. It's been so amazing to see her attach to other wonderful people.

This activity is extension to the Sea World theme. Children are encouraged to draw the shells from observation.

There is a story that goes with this activity about the ladybug who did not have any friends. Children make a pass with rise for lady bug to find her dragonfly friend. Children are encouraged to sprinkle the rise within the lines.

This absolutely genius idea came from my big brother and his beautiful wife. They decided to make something special for their 4 year old boy for his birthday. Hmm.. what could it be.. The SHADOW THEATER of course. ;) All handmade. Here is a tutorial how to make one: Cereal Box shadow theater. This is a wonderful Montessori -inspired activity idea for the little infants as they focus well on black and white objects and pictures. This will allow them to practice eye object tracking. My brother and his wife also wrote the script to it which I will leave unpublished, but this is actually not that hard to make and will make your child's special day so much more fun, exciting and adventures. So here are some pictures to inspire you:

I enjoy sharing activities I make for my little baby girl. Here are some of my favourite activities from this year. This blog post is a part of a group of Montessori bloggers's Blog Hop.

My top 12 DIY Montessori activities for infant play

This Christmas there will be many nice surprises for our baby girl: gifts, laughs, carol singing, dances.. But there is a beautiful gift parents can give their child that will keep on giving. Writing a letter to your child and then reading it to them on Christmas Eve will create a special bond and can be a wonderful meaningful addition to family's traditions. Here is a letter we wrote to our baby girl.

Here are some activities we have done last week.

I used lentils for this fine motor activity. Her concentration was beautiful to watch. I was careful to make sure she did not put them in her mouth. She was playing with these for good 5 minutes at a time.

What an exciting season it is for us as a family - to share celebration of Christmas with our new addition. I was so surprised to see her getting into the festive season and getting so engaged. She noticed every little detail as we were decorating our place. Once every so often we get into to a Christmas groove with Christmas carols (which she loooves) at home or go to the city - hear beautiful girls choir sing. Here are some Christmas activities for my 10 months old baby girl.

Here is what on our shelf this week:

These activities are only a very small part of the day. They are there to stimulate language, develop concentration and introduce the concept of order - placing objects on the same spot, the shelf is always tidy and neat. On my opinion, the most important aspect of development is personal interaction and freedom of movement - our main focus of every day.

Montessori believed that children have internal desire to learn about the world around them. After much observation as to how children actually acquired this knowledge, she concluded that they learned best by experiencing things as opposed to fantasizing or pretending about them. In fact she believed that fantasy play happened primarily because a child's environment was deficient of stimulating activities.

The art of motherhood involves much silent, unobtrusive self-denial, an hourly devotion which finds no detail too minute.
Honore De Balzac

This is dedicated to us - mums. The reason I decided to write this blog, is because at times being a mum does not seem like much, and it is so easy to loose a focus in between wiping boogers, preparing dinner and picking up that same piece of Lego hundredth time a day. And the amazing thing is that our history is yet to be written and NOW we have time and chance to make a difference and raise beautiful people who will write a history one day. Looking into the lives and sacrifices great mothers made for the sake of their family, you understand that being a mum is a calling.

Here is a collection of beautiful, unusual Christmas craft ideas for the whole family. I enjoyed these ideas so much, they will make any house look gorgeous during this holiday season. There is a variety of media used to make them for every taste.
