HOW TO HAVE A MONTESSORI CHRISTMAS WITH A TODDLER

It’s that time of year again! I am so excited to start spreading the Christmas cheer this year! I want to focus more on a Montessori Christmas today. A Montessori Christmas is full of friends, family, fun, and lots of cheer. Having your toddler join the excitement is one of the best parts!

 

MONTESSORI CHRISTMAS ACTIVITIES

Whether you plan on celebrating Christmas with a big family gathering or just a small affair at your home you can still incorporate Montessori into your holiday. Everyday tasks can become magical with a little bit of Christmas creativity. There are plenty of Montessori Christmas activities to engage in throughout the season. Here are a few we will be partaking in this year:

PRACTICAL LIFE

HANDS-ON ACTIVITIES

MONTESSORI CHRISTMAS GIFTS

Another Christmas element, gift giving. I personally love buying gifts for people, I love making other people happy, as most moms do. Being Montessori doesn’t mean that I can’t buy my toddler the perfect Christmas gift it just means that perfect gift isn’t going to be some flashy loud noisy plastic toy.

There are so many beautiful Montessori materials out there, Christmas is a perfect time to stock up on all of them. I have a few suggestions for you to help you keep your Montessori Christmas with a toddler under wraps.
