Thanks, Tina. I don’t have a whole layout pic because the stuff is spread throughout the house. A little here, a center there, a shelf here, etc.
I also got the shelves from various places. The geometry map cabinet came from Allison’s Montessori, as well as all of the botany and zoology puzzle shelves.
I think the botany cabinet came form Alison’s and the geometry cabinet from Montessori outlet, but I am not sure about those. The others have just been yard sale/thrift shop/Walmart finds.

I love your organization of things. Do you have a picture of how the whole layout is in your home? I struggle with getting everything organized. I love the shelves and other wooden organizers. Where did you find them?

Thanks for all the great ideas! I just decided that I would take the Montessori approach to preschool for my 2 year old and 8 month old daughters. I am trained as a preschool teacher, but have never taught Montessori. Keep up with the photos! I love it!

You are absolutely brilliant. Your children are very lucky to have you. You are very inspiring and I wish you the best of luck. Thank you for sharing this with us.

Excellent, I didn’t think of the staple gun, and with a husband that is a contractor you’d think that would have been at the top of my list

I forget how handy Google is, and I was just googling something else for Montessori, so it’s perfect!!

Bless you!

Hi Meredith!
I used a staple gun to attach the cloth to the back of the frames.
The animal cards I printed myself. I just Google imaged the animals I wanted and then formatted them in 2 columns (for uniform size) with the names below, centered. Then I laminated them. I made 2 copies. One copy I left the cards whole and one copy I cut apart the pictures and names.

Theresa, your ideas are SOOO good!! When you put together your dressing frames did you glue the clothing to them so they wouldn’t slide off?? I’ve been thinking of making these with the picture frames as well, but wasn’t sure how to attach them without ruining the fabrics. Thanks for any help hear and another ?? Did you purchase your animal cards or print them off the internet yourself. They are so clear, they look great!! Blessings to you on this Sunday afternoon!!
