The prepared environment whether indoors or out is where a Montessori child finds Awe and Wonder. The beauty of the environment sucks them in and doesn’t let go.
The Culture section of this environment is my absolute favourite. It is diverse, centres around Peace Education, and opens a child’s eyes to the world around them.
We have been using the materials of Waseca Biomes for years.
They are detailed, diverse and above all beautiful.
The Seasons Mat and Celebration Sun was an early favourite. Not just for birthdays but also to learn the months and seasons of the the year.
We recently purchased the Landforms Mat and we have been continuing the work Quentin has done in his 3-6 classroom with the landforms. It is an awesome material because it brings the landforms together in a holistic way while gently moving into the abstract. Quentin loves following the prompts from the Level One cards such as “Fly, drive or sail to a body of water surrounded by land on 3 sides. Above he chose to move his sailboat to the Peninsula. There is a Level Two set and Level Three set included so this material will be relevant to him for years to come.
We love these materials so much that we wanted to share them with other families.
We are giving away this full set of the Africa Savannah Theatre Mat. It includes the theatre, grammar card set, animal tracks rubber stamps and sequence cards.
To enter head over to our Instagram or Facebook accounts.
We are so thrilled at the thought of a child being awed by this gorgeous material.
