Easy Peasy Valentines' Work: Montessori Monday

I am expecting two new three year old students this week! A lot of my children are ready for new lessons with the traditional Montessori materials. So my plan was simple add some valentine related work, and activities that my oldest children may be able to show the new students how to do. Roll-Count-Color this work is from http://meandmarielearning.com. The dice is in the cup with the markers. I haven't had an activity using dice in a long time. The children are going to love this.

Sorting hearts by color.

Using the pincer grasp to place the balls in the heart. I thought this was a good one to entice the newbies to want to join in the work period.

Dry pouring using a meauring spoon. This will be a new work for all. I particularly had Lil in mind who has been working with the Fraction Skittles. They'll all love seeing the sand take form of a heart.

Valentines' Card Making Tray. The point of interest is using the tape dispenser. They will use their name cards to aid in writing their friends' names.

The front and back of the cards.

The stickers they may use to decorate the cards with.

Stringing beads to make a bracelet.

Play doh. The point of interest is using a fondant roller with a handle.
