Find the Shape – Teaching Shapes Activity
Smiley Man loves the quiet book I posted about last week. It surprisingly gives him a lot more fine motor practice then I thought it would.

Space Themed Montessori Tot School Trays
Both sets of our tot trays in March were for holidays (St. Patrick’s Day and Easter), so it was exciting to put together some tot trays that weren’t related to a holiday.

That means that there… Continue reading Easter Themed Tot School Trays

I made these conference packets for the alphabet as a way for Little Bear to learn scriptures AND to learn preschool skills. I’ve been very surprised at just how well these packets do that.
