Welcome back to 12 months of Montessori learning, where you can get ideas, activities, free printables, and so much more. Each month, we put together themed activities and share them with you in hopes that you discover new ways to incorporate Montessori into your life. This month, I am super excited to explore Zoology and Body Coverings.
On our morning walk, we spotted a turtle crossing the street. We enjoyed watching it for 20 minutes and ensured it got safely across. We also got a chance to talk about turtles and their bodies. Bells insisted on wearing her brother’s doggie pants 😉

Having a pet brings many unique qualities to your family because it teaches children responsibility, empathy, and so much more. Children love caring for their pets.

After spotting these amazing books, I knew they were perfect for starting our zoology unit.

Learning about body coverings is so important, but it is not always introduced to children. These books make it easy because they have the best pictures and great information. Children love them!


Spend time reading body coverings books or other great animal books with your kids, incorporate the fabulous free body coverings printables below, and you have yourself an excellent week of zoology if you can visit a pet store, a zoo, or a nature reserve that would make it even better.
