writing the letters in air will help imageryand who will say the letters longer will help pronounciation.

@Amber – I know, it was funny how quickly I put that basket together. I think I buy tiny objects every time I see them so I have a ton. So glad you like the new cards – love the idea of using them as a travel game. Great suggestion!

@KittenMuffin – Glad you like the ideas! I’d say before even checking out books about Montessori, take a look at my Montessori Basics posts. The second one is a book list and there’s several great suggestions for books on learning more about Montessori.

What a great round up of ideas! Thank you! I’m definately going to be doing some rhyming themed activities with my girls. I also need to figure out more about what Montessori is about. I came here via adventures of a rainbow mama, and a lot of this type of learning appeals to me and the way our home dynamic is, but I’ve not done any reading on it beyond blogs. Any advice on a good book to start with?

Hi Lori!
The rhyming basket is a great idea. We were just working on rhyming words this morning & I could probably easily put a basket together. Thanks

I also wanted to let you know how wonderful I think the new *free* activity cards you put up are. I think they could be used in any classroom or home – Montessori or not. In fact, I’ve already printed them out & think that they’d be a fun thing to pack when we go away soon… they’ll take up no room at all but will provide us with lots of fun learning activities!
