Montessori Friendly Storage Baskets Recommendations

Hello! I've been getting a lot of inquiries on the baskets I'm using for toy storage in our shelves.  These lovely baskets are stunning when displayed on a shelf.  The material is soft and my little guy loves the texture (keeps feeling it!).  With baskets, you can easily store your toys and books and display them on the shelves, providing a cleaner and pleasant look in your room.  Below, I'm sharing the baskets we are using at home and a few recommendations (affiliate links).

Learning about the History of Telephones for Kids

One of our favorite subjects is history! I suddenly had an urge to tackle the historical timeline of the everyday objects we use daily, like money, phones, computers, etc.  This came to my mind when my eldest and I talked about the evolution of computers from gigantic machines to tablets.  Though this is more of an elementary work, I designed this resource for preschoolers, kindergartens, and early childhood learners.

In this post, I will feature the history of telephones we recently worked on (Vito asked to work on this set first).  All the printable resources featured in this post are available in our History of Telephones - Timeline and Ordering Activities.

Introducing Dental Health to Kids

Here are some activities and ideas you can try with your children or students to create a dental-themed unit. If you have any questions, please feel free to leave a comment or send me an email.
