Over 6 years ago Jo Ebisujima started blogging about the Montessori activities that she did at home with her son. As they were on a tight budget many of the activities were done using everyday household equipment allowing them to buy a number of specialized key pieces of equipment for their son.
Montessori's theory on education should be available to everyone as it helps the child with independence and self awareness, and although many of these activities seem very simple to an adult, for a child, they are engaging and help them to learn about the world around them, they help build concentration, dexterity and strengthen those important pincer muscles and fine motor skills.
The general age for children using activities from this book is 2-6 years old. The activities are not marked with an age system in keeping with Dr Montessori's theories. All children are different and learn at different speeds, by observing the child you will know which activities they are ready for and which will be too challenging. Some children will master one activity at the age of two yet others might not master it until they are five. It doesn't matter, it's not a race, what is important is that they are given the chance to master the skill.
This book is a collection of activities taken from the blog when Jo's son was between the ages of two and four. (but many were used until he was much older). Montessori theory is touched on in the in the book but not in depth as it is a practical guide for busy parents to set up activities for their developing child to do at home.
