Montessori At Home by John Bowman

John Bowman sent me a copy of his book Montessori at Home a few months ago, and I LOVE it! It is exactly what I was looking for more than 3 years ago when I first started implementing the Montessori method with O (4). If I'd had this book then, I doubt I would have even started a blog!


If you look at the top of the book, you can see that I have marked many pages. This book is full of great activities that I'd like to do with my girls. Many of the ideas and activities come from blogs, so you may have seen them before. However, it's nice to have them organized and in a book instead of on a computer screen.







I really love that many of the activities are included in the book. The materials are printed on cardstock at the back of the book, so all you have to do is cut them out, and you are ready to work!










Here is a little more about John Bowman (copied from the website)...

"John Bowman’s most rewarding and fun career was over a decade spent as a Montessori Pre-Primary Teacher and Center Director. He started three new Montessori programs; and was the first Director of the Garfield Montessori School in Denver, CO. His goal now is to inspire parents to do early learning activities at home with their children and show them how."

If you are just getting started with the Montessori Method at home, this book is really all you need. I could have saved so much time and money if he'd only written it 3 years ago!!! One of the most helpful sections in the book is a list of Montessori materials that you should buy for your home along with directions for materials that you can make.

I am in no way affiliated with the author or book. I received a free copy of the book, liked it, and decided to write this unbiased review. I hope you will take a moment to browse the website and learn more about this wonderful resource.
