30 Minute Puppet Theater

Quick Simple Projects have become a specialty for Lil A and I. The projects are short enough to keep her attention but provides hours and hours of fun afterwards. Yeah!

Everything that went into creating this puppet theater I already had at home, I keep poster boards around the house, I had string and scraps of fabric, and Lil A just received the paint for her birthday.

You can find the step by step instructions on how to make your very own Simple Puppet Theater here.

Continents & Oceans of the World

Felt is a favorite homeschool item because it is cheap and easy way to recreate items on a budget. For example, Montessori world puzzles that range in price from $25 to $50 can be made for under $5 with felt.
That's exactly what we did here. It has served as a beautiful and nice alternative.

Off the Beaten Path

We love to travel and see new places. Most of our travels are local and sometimes the best things are right under your nose. We have found some of these places unintentionally, but I believe that God has the Master Plan, so it was always "meant" to be. Other times I have intentionally planned out our adventures.

Land/ Air/ Water

Montessori's Land, Air, & Water lesson is a simple one that requires labels and samples of each. The Air dish appears empty but is filled with what the element we can not see or taste, although we know it is there because it fills our lungs. You may also want a balloon and stick with a ribbon attached. Blow up the balloon and ask your child "What is in the balloon to make it big?" Then you may blow at the ribbon and ask your child "What made the ribbon move?"
