Uri’s prayer at the end 🥹😂🤍 Some snippets of what our homeschool day looked like today, there were also some chaotic moments but use your imagination for that and yes one of the times was during arts and crafts of course 🤣

Balancing two kids is hard especially when they are different ages, and today was one of those days. Lucky enough their dad was home so during Uri’s nap time is when we managed to go to the shop.

Home school morning with my 3 year old 📚✏️Azariah has really been loving maths! Magnetiles have been a real game changer for us cause he’s definitely a visual learner. 😊

Science meets art in this mesmerizing milk & oil color explosion!
This toddler-friendly experiment explores density, immiscibility (how some liquids don’t mix), and color diffusion.
Not only is it a visual treat, but it also sparks curiosity and early scientific thinking. Try it with your little one—just a little milk, oil, and food coloring can go a long way in making learning magical!

Teaching a preschooler isn’t limited to homeschooling—before they even start school, so much of their learning comes from everyday moments with you. When you stay patient, understand their learning style, and focus on connection, you help build a strong foundation for lifelong learning. #MontessoriAtHome #PreschoolParenting #GentleParenting #EarlyLearning #ParentingTips by @litoools

Instilling family values during the formative years shapes the foundation for how children see the world and interact with others. Here’s why it’s so important:
- Guides Their Decision-Making: When children understand your family’s core values, they have a moral compass to help them make the right choices.
- Builds a Strong Sense of Identity: Knowing where they come from and what their family stands for gives children confidence and a sense of belonging.
- Strengthens Family Bonds: Sharing and living by common values creates trust and unity within the family.
- Teaches Respect and Empathy: Understanding the ‘why’ behind family values helps children develop respect for others and handle conflicts with empathy.
- Creates Consistency and Stability: A clear set of values helps children feel secure, knowing what’s expected and how to navigate challenges.

Start the conversation early — your values will become the foundation they carry into adulthood. ❤️

Watch until the end to see how easy it is for your preschooler to mix up the letters 😄 this was one of the ways I decided to help Azariah with the mirror image letters, but there are many other ways ☺️

An easy activity to help with concentration. Colour identification, fine motor skills & dexterity! Would you try this with your preschooler ? 😊

Azariah has been really loving this game and I love that we can all play it with him! 🥰
Why is this game great for your child’s development?
Problem-Solving – Helps children think ahead and make careful choices.
Fine Motor Skills – Strengthens hand coordination by rolling the dice and pulling sticks.
Colour Recognition – Encourages matching colors from the dice to the sticks.
Patience & Turn-Taking – Teaches waiting for their turn and following rules.

This game makes learning fun while keeping kids engaged!

This is an activity that’s good for independent play! It helps your child with concentration and working on those fine motor skills. Dexterity also plays a part with the fine motor skills as both hands have to support one another! And most of all the fun part, using imagination to imagine the sky and raindrops! 🌧️🌈💧 #learnwhileyouplay #homeeducation #homeschool #montessoriactivity by @litoools

The Montessori Moveable Alphabet and other hands-on tools help preschoolers explore phonics in a fun, pressure-free way. By forming simple CVC words (like cat, sun, and hop), children learn to connect sounds to letters—an essential step in early reading. The best part? Learning feels like play! 🔠📚 #MontessoriPhonics #CVCWords #HandsOnLearning by @litoools

6 Reasons why we LOVE Montessori
1. Independence - your child is able to learn to complete tasks on their own fostering confidence and self-reliance.

2. Problem-Solving - Engaging with open-ended activities encourages them to think critically and find creative solutions.

3. Self discipline - Montessori encourages children to take responsibility by allowing them to choose activities and work at their own pace. With a structured yet flexible environment, they develop focus, patience, and the ability to complete tasks independently. Over time, this freedom within limits helps them build intrinsic motivation and a natural sense of discipline.

4. Confidence - Making choices and accomplishing tasks independently builds a strong sense of capability.�

5. Adaptability - Montessori fosters flexible thinking by allowing children to explore concepts in different ways. With self-correcting materials and hands-on learning, they learn to adjust their approach, try new solutions, and adapt to challenges with confidence.

6. Patience and Perseverance - Montessori activities are designed to encourage problem-solving and persistence. Children are given the freedom to explore tasks at their own pace, allowing them to work through challenges independently. As they repeat activities and refine their skills, they naturally develop patience and the ability to persevere through difficulties.

This activity is quite challenging, encouraging children to develop persistence while offering numerous developmental benefits. In addition to those highlighted in the video, it also enhances fine motor skills, dexterity (precision and coordination). It has been a wonderful addition to our learning routine!

This is suitable for preschoolers and above (age 3+)
