Practical Life Activities to Prepare for Christmas

November 19, 2014 by Marie Leave a Comment

Now that the weather is getting cooler, we are starting to really feel preparing for Christmas. There are even Christmas lights up on some houses! Practical Life activities are a great way involve kids with the process of preparing for Christmas. I want to share with you a helpful list of Practical Life activities you ask your children to do in your home as your family prepares for Christmas.

I love having my kids help around the house. That’s the beautiful part about having a Montessori home. So many opportunities for children to learn and grow through learning in the home.

When I first started my research on how to teach Montessori lessons to my children, I found Info Montessori. I really appreciate how they give a list of materials needed and a detailed description of how to give each lesson. Often there is a video. For each of the activities in this article, I linked to the Info Montessori lesson that corresponds to help you feel confident in teaching the lesson.
