Toddler Curriculum Letter Activity — G is for Garden

I did a garden theme for toddler school with my toddler last summer and he liked it so much, I knew I had to include it in my Toddler Curriculum.

If you haven’t done much Montessori, I would definitely recommend it. Toddler Montessori ideas can be so easy, but they teach so much!

Using toddler Montessori or really any type of toddler education will really help your child achieve all that he can. And since I’m an educator, I’m pretty passionate about making sure my kids achieve their full potential. 🙂

Now that I’ve been using my Toddler Curriculum for a few months, I just have to say, it is so nice to have a set plan. An official curriculum definitely isn’t necessary for toddler education, but having one has made toddler school more fun for my son and for me.

This toddler homeschool curriculum keeps me organized and is perfect for when my creativity is lacking. How do you get toddler education organized? Do you like to have a curriculum like me or do you like to come up with your own ideas?
