We recently extended Teddy's kitchen/working place and we are all really happy with the final result. He only had a small shelf at his level and he did most of the cooking at the kitchen worktop using a stool. His dishes were in a designated cupboard but as we were adding more things I observed his needs for better order so we decided to change it all. It took me a while to find the right shelf and we had to move around some furniture but it's finally finished and it works great. In the shelf he has all his dishes and child size utensil, a basket with napkins and place mats and a basket with clothes for cleaning/spillage. Glasses are the the side shelf underneath his water dispenser and under them he has all his cleaning equipment and vases for flowers. Snack is in the cupboard next to it. He always had it there and it works well. He helped me pick the artwork which we hung at his level and first thing he did was to get some fresh flowers from the garden and cut some fruit for his snack. #mamaandsons #montessoriathome #montessorihome #montessorichild #montessorikitchen #montessoridoma #practicallife #praktickyzivot #independentchild #samostatnedite #montessoriikea
How many plants is too many to have in your home? During my childhood our tiny flat was always filled with various plants, herbs and flowers. Our parents never heard of montessori but we were doing various house chores and taking care of the plants was one of them. It came natural to us, watering them, keeping them dust free and repotting them when needed. It was part of my childhood and stayed with me until now. Our home is filled with plants, you can find them in every single room of the house and I am so happy that Teddy shares my love for nature. Taking care of plants is something he has been doing for years and lately he has found a passion for succulents and cacti and his collection is getting bigger and bigger all the time. We plant to make a designated area to them when we come back from our holidays. For now this is his plant care table which he will be sharing with his brother when he gets bigger. He has there a small watering can which he keeps refilling by himself in the bathroom or using his water dispenser in the kitchen, a spray bottle, a sponge to wipe leaves and cloth to wipe any spillige. #mamaandsons #montessorihome #montessoriathome #montessorichild #practicallifeskills #plantcare #preparedenvironment
Invitation to get messy and have some sensory fun!! We had lovely morning with @maky_klemmova watching our peanuts to enjoy our swamp inspired gloop. All you need is cornflour, water and in this case little bit of cocoa powder. We had 10m old and 4 year old each getting different sensory experience but both enjoying it to the fullest!
Playing with shaddows this morning. Teddy is really into bones lately hence all the lines on his dinosaurs' drawings. #mamaandsons #sunnymorning #simplebutbeautiful #shaddowdrawing
So much fun exploring different materials today, their texture and colours. #mamaandsons #sensoryplay #exploration #montessorifrombirth #fourmonthsold
Loads of fun with a rainbow today! Not sure what he loved more, playing with the ribbons or grabbing his feet but it was lovely seeing him so happy again after 2 very unsettled days #mamaandsons #rainbowribbons #montessorihome #montessorifrombirth #babygym #fourmonthsold #happybaby
