Overview

Give preschoolers the opportunity to practice their colors, shapes, and numbers with this colorful Montessori workbook full of engaging activities about animals and nature! In the Montessori Method, knowledge develops through the senses, and learning is nourished by freedom of choice, practical experience, and direct experimentation. This method of educating children has been widely implemented around the world, in preschools and beyond. The animal- and nature-themed activities in this fun compendium focus on colors, numbers, and shapes, and grow more complex according to the three stages of a child's learning: getting to know the material through sensory experience, recognizing the material, and being able to explain the material. For example, they'll count the number of quills on a porcupine, pick the correct number from three choices, and trace it. Or, they'll color in the different parts of a beautiful butterfly using the right shades, explore a mole's tunnel by joining the dots, and connect five birds to their different nests. Twenty-four pages of stickers at the back of the book make learning more tactile and interactive.
