Apples and Fall
I love fall, pumpkins and apples! Check out some activities at montessorimom.com
Solid Geometric Shapes
We used to critique our Montessori equipment with our directress who was a developmental child psychologist. She suggested once that the solid geometric shapes were wonderful for tactile experiences and vocabulary for geometry. Her improvement for the shapes would be that they were clear and you could measure the volume of each shape.
This is something she would have liked! The lids can be removed. Measure volume using millet in a measuring cup and grade the shapes from the largest volume to the smallest volume. It's a great Montessori lesson.
Pumpkin Activities
Pumpkins are a fun and educational vegetable! Any vegetable that can be made into a delicious pie is my favorite vegetable.
Here is a list of fun things to do with pumpkins with your children. Also, there are some links for making costumes.
