Today we had colored rice in the sensory table, the kids really enjoyed using it. We printed the star from the apple by dipping the apple core in red paint and stamping onto paper. The weather looked like it would rain at any second but we had fun outside.

This is a home made Montessori activity

Kids like doing real jobs- Maria Montessori first noted this over 100 years ago- and it is so true!

I made a spiral from the rocks
This is a very Reggio Emilia  inspired image

Lelia and Brendan with the wooden farm and blocks- they picked it all up when they were done. It helped that they could not take out anything new til it was all put back in the basket :-)

Stamping stars with red paint and apple cores. The stars did not show up wonderfully- but the process was fun

Brendan enjoys the tractor more this way!
