Montessori Practical Life Ideas for the Spring (free printable)
Practical life skills are something that can be learned and done all of the time, so you might be wondering why I said these were for the spring. Whether you have toddlers just beginning their journey or older children, the season can bring new Montessori Practical Life ideas and freshness to your home. Things, like planting a garden, rotating and cleaning toys, or hanging clothes outside to dry. Spring is a perfect time to start learning these valuable skills.
