Have you used unit studies in your Montessori classroom or home? I love unit studies because I appreciate all things organized. You may wonder if unit studies can be used in Montessori? I really appreciate what my friend Jennifer wrote regarding this topic. Please visit, Can unit studies be used in Reggio and Montessori?
These Montessori Gift Guide Units with printables were fun to put together with the organized homeschooling family in mind. There are three units in this post with beautiful materials for purchase along with free printables. The three units are zoology – the study of birds, sensorial – learning shapes, and practical life activities.
In each section, you will find 2-3 blog posts for each topic that were personally hand-picked because of the fun, detailed, and educational activities included. Each of these unit studies are perfect for the toddler and preschooler age group. After the blog posts, I listed several educational toys that can be combined into the unit study. These toys also make great gifts! Finally, at the end of each topic you will find 2-3 hand-picked printables that match the unit study. Most of the printables are free or available for a low cost. It is recommended to print the printables on cardstock and laminate them for durability.
I hope you are inspired by this educational gift guide and that your children adore these unit studies!
