Also a tip as well: when you present or guide your child in an activity, the LESS you say the better. When adults chat too much it distracts from the child's concentration 🙂
Yes! Thanks, Julia! 🥰
My son doesn't even let us show him. I've tried to do it quickly, but he screams from the top of his lungs 'cause he wants to do it/experiment himself. It's very frustrating for both of us
@@SaraHinata Its OK for the child to do work with no demo. You can do a demo when he/she is ready for it ;o)

Thank you Ashley! I was gonna give up because I can't afford natural toys at the moment. Thank you for reminding me what's truly important. I'm so excited! One of my fav episode ❤ Sharing all your videos and Montessori view in Nicaragua (where I'm from) Thank you!! ❤❤
When I was 2 or 3, my mom said I would get my grandpas pieces of scrap wood, put them in a circle and play with them like dolls. When I was older [9ish] I drew faces and names on all of the jenga blocks 😂 my family wasnt montessori, but I think it's a natural thing for kids to want to do to play with the simplest of pieces and create a whole other world.
I did this with my building blocks as a kid! I drew faces and clothes on some blocks and made some of them into beds or kitchen appliances so I'd have "furniture" for my buildings. :)
Kids are more interested in the box a toy came in, than they are in the toy.
I LOVE that wall hanging, "Play is the work of a child" so true!
Yes always catches my eyes
quote by Maria Montessori
One of the first things I learnt in my early childhood teacher training. It wasn't Montessori training, tho.
@@janfritz2988 Yesss!
Quoted also by Fred Rogers
Such a smart video during quarantine! We're binging all things Hapa Family in our house ❤️👍
Wow Ashley, this may be my favourite video of yours to date! So many amazing ideas, so well structured and communicated to us. Also love to see the girls breezing through all the activities! They're both amazing, which is a testament to your parenting.
can you show us how you teach them or guide them first in the harder task?
I just watched all of the DIY videos you listed in this video and I can't thank you enough for your emphasis on the concept of an activity over the materials used! We have an incredibly limited budget, but we also desire to encourage our child's development. I really appreciate that your suggestions make Montessori seem much more in reach for us!
Do u have an excel spreadsheet of these activities? Asking for a friend 😬😅
Ashley, Thank you so much for creating such valuable content! You’ve been a key inspiration to me in my Montessori journey. You communicate so clearly and effectively, I feel my time is respected. I appreciate all the time it must take to create and edit your videos. THANK YOU! x PS. Kylie and Mia Claire are beautiful and such great role models.
Something I've never understood is...people keep saying wooden toys etc are better because they last longer. This doesn't make sense to me. I bought a bunch of good quality wooden toys and they have been pretty much destroyed even tho my child is not too harsh with them. Paint comes off, teeth leave indentations, and throwing scratches them. I still like plastic more even if this isn't a popular opinion. Montessory "branded" stuff are also so expensive. 99 euros for the 5 mobiles you only use for three months. Your tips are very useful. Thanks.
Your videos make me look forward to parenthood even more than I do now! I can’t wait to watch my child develop these skills and guide them along the way!
I wish I had looked into the Montessori way earlier, my son is so behind 🥺😔
I really love your materials! You are amazingly resourceful! This video inspires me to be more resourceful and creative for my next Montessori at home video! :) Keep doing videos like this! ❤️
I'm 38 but I kinda want to play these games too. The colored water mixing game with the ravioli tray looks like fun!
I made the shaker and stick activity for my 13 month old this afternoon and she was really into it. Thanks for all the ideas! 😊
Definitely mentally calculating how to make some of these for a 10 month old who still voraciously puts everything in his mouth...
I did the shakers with washed pill bottles (I removed labels and goo, since he would immediately put them in his mouth). This way the bottles could not be opened. We used bells, buttons, rice etc. It was a favorite around 10 mths.
Usually kids would rather be doing whatever youre doing instead of playing with random toys.
My daughter just turned 2 and is constantly making messes every time I turn my back. She also is putting a lot of things in her mouth. Any water bottle she finds, she pours it all out. Earlier she got into a d.i.y. face scrub I made( just coconut oil and salt) she had tasted it and had rubbed it all over her hands. I've been a little panicky not knowing how to solve this issue. I think I've neglected her sense of play and exploration. You have inspired me to make her some activities and games! That way she doesn't make her own!!! Lol thank you!
I have a question that might be worth a video when it comes to adults talking to children in Montessori. I have an 8month-old and he is learning so much right now: opening and closing flaps; pulling zippers; taking things in and out; etc. I have read so many times how important it is to give language to babies and narrate what they’re doing. I want to help him understand what’s happening by saying things like, “you’ve opened the flap,” or “you knocked the blocks over.” But I also want him to be able to concentrate. He has times to play independently but I like narrating when we play together. Where does the Montessori philosophy fall on this?
Thank you so much for this! I love how informative, comprehensive and to the point your videos are! I have so many questions but basically I want to know how can you tell if a child is not ready for an activity? My son is 23 months old and we have tried several transferring activities (both dry and wet) but though he starts super excited and eager, he understands what he is supposed to do and is able to do it, he always gives up after 2 goes and ends up throwing the beans around or splashing in the water. So I wonder is it too easy for him? Too hard? Does he have a concentration issue or does he just want to have fun? Should I let him do it or should I stop him because it’s considered inappropriate use of the materials? Practical life activities are his favorite but he is always very impatient.
Thanks for sharing. As a montessori guide myself during the lockdown, this video is such a great helpful for me to share with the parents to help them transition.
Wow lots of love from india 🇮🇳 the ideas are great and easy to implement
oh my goodness. love your channel. i have a SMALL budget. i have gotten A LOT of ideas from your channel for my kid's materials.
You gave me a lot of hope when your said they will not put everything in their months at the age of 15-18 months 😂 next week my twins are 15 months
Svetlana Kvasova my son is 17 months and puts everything in his mouth.
My daughter is 2 and she still does it.
It's normal up to 3 years..children are different..we just help them as we can
Great video, lovely activities, thank you. Behavioral questions: how do you support prolonged focus? What if they start the activity and then (once they 'get it') want to move on to something else before they have completed it? Do you let them or try to encourage them to finish? What phrasing do you use as they're working if they are doing it wrong or if they finish it incorrectly? I'd like my 2yo to work on these skills but don't want to be pushy or forceful about it. Thanks!
Carly Gates you let them move on. They guide the activities and of it doesn’t engage them, you figure out why and adjust your expectations or presentation.
Also, you show them the first time, and they may do it their own way and that is ok. Look at what is “incorrect” and why is it incorrect. You may need to adjust the activity or let them practice more independently.
This is a great video full of wonderful ideas. I am going to make these things for my grandchildren. One thing that keeps coming up in my mind is safety, Many of the things I have seen could be chocking hazards. How do you handle your child working independently with such things? How do you handle toys that could especially dangerous for Mia? Do you keep certain activities away so she can;t get into them and only do them with Kylie? Thank you for this very helpful video!
This is absolutely a golden video. Thank you so much for sharing this information here. Myself and y children are grateful for your informational resources.
What's with the trays? The lock and key doesn't need to be in a basket so why?
Wow, this was thorough and informative and gave me hope we can create some of these at home. Thank you for giving such a great overview. It is all so positive, sensible and gentle.
Although I don’t run a Montessori program I am drawn to use much of the principles. During this lockdown I have a bunch of time to prepare activities that I’ve been meaning to get to. Thanks for all you’re great tips!
Thank you. I don't have a child but I am preparing for it ( after 5 years :)
Ashley, thanks for making montessori possible for others. Could you share where you got the head and tails print outs you have on the video please?? My son would love these!
Hi Ashley, when you are able. Would you be able to help me with my question, please?
8:57 holy guacamole! How old is she? So smart wow!
She’s 12 months! ☺️
Aren't those lids a chocking hazard? The beans as well? Are these activities supposed to be 100% supervised? Is it still learning&play if you have to watch them like a hawk and intervene every time they try to put something into their mouths?
What do you do if on a first try your toddler throws the rice all over the room for 5 minutes and then moves on to another activity? Asking for a friend ;)
fuzzfriendly Those caps from baby food pouches are designed to be large enough not to fit in a young child’s windpipe, and have all those openings so that even if they were to get lodged in the child’s mouth, he/she would be able to breathe until an adult helped them take it out of their mouth.
It’s ok if your child isn’t ready to sit still and play in rice yet. 🙂 Most toddlers and young children love to- even have an irresistible urge to make a mess. I find it helpful for both my daughter’s and my own sanity if I set up a mess making activity that I’m ok with cleaning up. Then she gets to engage in age appropriate activities and I don’t lose my patience when I find “surprise” messes in my makeup, kitchen, etc.
this was just what we needed! thank you so so much! love your content so much, will share with my fam and friends cause more people should benefit from your videos ❤️
I just love your channel!! I am new to everything Montessori and I feel so inspired and just extremely excited to begin this journey!! 👏🏽💕
An old plastic cup and straw (like from a trip to get iced coffee) also makes a great free toddler activity. Or you can recycle a coffee or oatmeal canister- especially if you have multiple lids. You can do smaller holes for something like straws or cake pop sticks, a slit to make a "coin box" (using old cardboard boxes to make "coins"), or larger holes for pom-poms. You could even make "shape sorter lids." (And with using one container with multiple lids, you can easily swap out the activities without worrying about taking up too much space.)
You can also take the spout from the baby food pouches and make a cap twist-off board. Depending on the child, this could easily become a color-matching activity. You could also arrange it to work on another skill- like counting, letter recognition, or more. (I've even seen people make little 3-pouch-lid cards for work on cvc words).
And you can also use paint chips and clothes-pins to do a color matching activity. Whether it's a simple one like matching pink to pink and blue to blue OR a more advanced one where you're using the paint strips and the child has to discern between lighter and darker shades. Same concept as the color box activities listed here, but with the added element of fine motor work.
Kylie modeling all the older activities is so cute! I see the paw print tattoo from the wolf lodge vlog.
Yeah, that thing is hanging on still, haha!
Ahh just love this! What perfect timing too we can make all these things at home :D
Its like you knew what I was searching for yesterday lol
I have a hard time when my daughter uses the watercolor pallet. When i offer the water she will dump everything on the paper. How can i do so that doesn’t happen?
General question about all Montessori activities, how do you know when a child (of any age) has mastered an activity?
A child has mastered an activity when: a) they get bored of it and no longer choose it, b) if you ask them to show you how to do it they do it basically perfectly or, c) they demonstrate how to do it to someone else like a sibling or friend.
JuliaF thank you!
@@julial.b.6800 what are the chances the child would not choose the activity simply because they find it too hard
Yey! New video! ❤️
These are really good ideas!
Thank you so much!
Plus, Kylie been the star of the video is 🎇
I love your ideas! Though I don’t really have time to DIY as I work part time with an infant, I’m going to try this as he gets older. ❤️
Any tips on keeping my 20 month old from eating the crayons? I can't leave her alone with it!
Thank you SO much! I truly appreciate these DIY activities. The info. you provide is invaluable!
Thank you so much for this video. So many ideas that I will actually be able to afford!
You are amazing! Thank you, thank you for your videos!
Laura
I loveeeee your channel, but I wonder if your kids are just WAY calmer than mine, because after a few moments, my 3 year old son just starts throwing beans or putting them in other places on the porch. He def. would NOT stay on a tray. I'm scared to even give him the colorful water. lol I think we're going to try playdough soon though.
1000 thanks and hugs for all the advice!!! My daughter is 22 months and I got a lot of new ideas ❤❤❤❤
I’m saving this video. Once this quarantine and covid 19 virus is over. I will be heading to the store to get these d.i.y. materials!
Paaaint swatches!!! Perfect idea i just realosed Huda loved playing with my swatches and i had thought of this activity in the future for sahdes but NOT for nooowwwww when i need to introduce primariy colours.
Colored artificial dye in water is an awful idea. I’m an AMI primary montessori guide and we use real water with no dye. Artificial food dye can be so harmful for children!!
We do multicolored straws with holes cut into an oatmeal cannister lid. My 16 mo loves it and helps with colors and prepositions
How fluid are these age ranges? I'm sure my daughter would be fine with the activities that are for her age group, but I think she'd also have fun doing activities for the younger age group.
Absolutely! These are just suggestions for when to start the activities, but they can certainly do any of the ones that come before it with ease. :)
Thank you very much, very informative, interesting, will do it with my daughter.
Great!! You are amazing. I recently started to watch your videos. You help me a lot. God bless you!
you should use a collider and pipe cleaners- my daughter loves this activity
I wish I could give like 10 thumbs up for this video. Brilliant ideas!
Thanks for sharing. Love the video!!
May I ask where are the wooden trays from?
Does anyone know what kind of glitter glue she used for the letter cards? Most of the ones I'm searching for says their glues dry flat, not raised like her cards.
Hi, I have a question. Are this activities and the activities in the previous video are stored on the shelf? When do you give them to play or they pick them themself?
This was amazing, I tend to be diy sort of person so this is very helpful. Ashley would you ever do an episode of how to keep up Montessori practises, when your child doesn't stand a Montessori school but arends public school ?
Quick question I just thought of: Does Montessori involve any aspects of learning gender? Either learning traditional gender or learning fluid expression?
Jess E why should that matter???
Great and so helpful! I do not know how to reach you , help, an old Montessori teacher! God bless you!
O
Where can I view the video if I purchased it? Is there a Chinese translation for the purchased video?
My twins are 4 and i dont know why i didnt get started sooner to teach them this type of stuff. Better late than never i guess 🤦
Thank you!! I needed this for my almost 3 yr old!!
Dang you really went all in with this video!! These are awesome thank you
Came hunting for ideas for my under two Montessori class
This is soo awesome. Thanks for sharing. I'll watch it a second time with a pen and paper and write all this down. Feels like a Montessori activity conference...lol😊
Hi have you written it down? I'd yes could you please share the list
Thank you so much! Wonderful video and ideas!
What do you do the rest of the day? These activities at most will keep my 21 month busy for 5 mins each. That still leaves hours of the day where they are bored lol! They will get bored of doing things in the kitchen with me too. We are a screen free house, and still my child is bored quickly. When they see other kids with toys they beg and beg for toys 🙈 we have lots of animal toys and books, but I don’t think very kid can tolerate repetition as much.
I’ve been struggling with this too! Even going outside an hour and a half every morning as part of her routine leaves a long time! Im trying to teach her how to “clean” and “cook” with me to help me out
Is it weird that I want to do this for myself? I don´t have kids yet x)!
This is going to be my favourite episode :D I can't wait to try out all the ideas presented here :D
Glad to hear it!
Is there any concern of them opening the spice jars and trying to eat things?
Hi madam your videos are very informative and useful..i also have a 12 months old baby.. how can I teach my baby to do all these activities like dropping something in the box etc?whether I have to model it and show how to do? How u taught ur baby to do all those activities?
Thank you so much for creating such valuable content! watching now ,starting my montessori journey with my twins 2 yo and 3mos.
I want to ask you correct age to start school please guide
Are you planning on homeschooling the girls when they get older?
No, they will be attending a Montessori public school.
Hi Ashley! Thank you again for sharing your studies... I'm trying to keep up. Lol.
But baby girl is doing well.
Question we still have our crib but I want her to have her floor bed. But she also is at the point of climbing over her room gate. We needed it bc we didn't want our dog to get to her toys, yet also we need to get a proper gate for our stairs. The way our house is built the top stairs (split stairway) Don't allow for the gate to go across. Like does anyone have a suggestion out there?
But what do you suggest? She is so active and I love it! I gues
Türkçe altyazılı lütfen
you speak so well. i love your channel!
Thank you so much!
Please do not install a hook above the baby
Omg... sock matching. Very nice. Simple and easy matching play. Thank you Ashley
Where did you get the gingham pumpkin. I can't find that online? Or any other suggestions for kicking a ball? How big should this be?
What size the pebbles is? 1inch or less?
Some fantastic ideas! I would only urge close vigilance when using beans. If stuck up a nose, they may actually trigger a hospital visit - they'd swell from the moisture like 3 times and/or may sprout!
Many thanks for your great videos xx
Would LOVE LOVE LOVE to see you make a DIY Montessori playmat!!!!
For transferring activity, my 18 month old always ended up using his hands to transfer and even throwing dry beans on the floor. If redirecting him doesn’t work, should I stop him from doing this activity?
Hi, Ashley, great ideas, thanks! Sorry, I’m not sure if someone already asked this but do you remember what glitter glue you bought? I bought one that’s clumping a little and has such a narrow tip. Yours looks like it comes out wider and cleaner. Thanks!
This is fab. Thank you for sharing!
I saw many Vlogs but urs is very unique and very much useful for all mommys who r struggling to engage their kids. I'm in one of them. My son always hitting nd breaking things whenever I give him toys sometimes he beating us by throwing everything on us how can we stop this behavior? And also he doesn't sleeping soon especially at daytime he never sleep at nyt he sleeps after 12 or 1(midnyt) I take many steps to make him sleep like singing, patting, dark screen, telling stories, setting routine but nothing happen he still wake nd playing. How to stop this nd make him slp at daytime and sleep soon at nyt?then he always watching phone when he eat..he never opening his mouth without seeing phone..pls help me with some ideas dear..
Although my granddaughter will be two in about a month she still puts small objects in her mouth. I could never let her play with beans. Rice would be a good option. Thanks for all the great ideas as I am a Nonna taking care of her granddaughter 3 days a week. Such a joy!🥰
Do you(or any commenters) do Montessori homeschooling or do you do Montessori private school or public? I just had a baby girl, so just wondering and getting input.
Tried pouring beans with my 22 month old. Dumping beans everywhere. Am I supposed to let that happen? I don’t understand when to tell him no. Am I supposed to say no? This is probably a very obvious question for most. He’s just always done what I ask until recently and I don’t know where or how to set boundaries.
i think my 2 year old is a bit slow with development. She whacks everything , can't play with play dough, dosen't have the patience for anything. If she tries something out and it won't work she dumps it and move on. She gets really angry when I try and give her clues as to how things work. When I've made her (when she was younger) the post in box for pompons she ate them, when she learnt not to eat them she'd try to rip the box apart. When I give her chalk she tries to draw a little then smash it till it brakes to pieces. Stacking blocks, only to smash , shape sorting, yes and then smash. painting, brush thrown away, she has to use fingers!! I don't know what to do .
Hi I am a new parent and introducing Montessori to 7 month old currently. I am taking it slowly and learning with my kiddo as this is completely new to me as well. I had a concern on how to do the activities with young babies though. I know you have done videos in how to present activities but my baby is 7 month and not really crawling yet. She sits up and reaches for toys but most of the time it’s like she needs assistance. So i was wondering how to do shelf activities with them. Normally I have her sit infront of the shelf and ask her what she wants to play with and then whichever activity she seems interested in, I pull that tray down and let her play. After what it seems like she is done, i will then ask her if she was done and then I model putting the stuff back up. Do you think I am doing correctly? Also what to do if she shows interest in multiple activities and wants to touch everything. Do i bring those tray down as well or do I ask her to play with one activity first. I would really appreciate your help. Thank you so so much. I love your channel and have learnt so much from watching you and implementing your tips
