I also think that using plastic items that are cheaper allows greater access to Montessori activities and lifestyle. Many parents cannot afford the fancy wood, metal and glass options so videos with plastic or DIY options gives parents the ability to integrate Montessori into their life and still be able to pay the bills. Using plastic items or DIY items still benefits the child immensely.

Can you please give us the item name for the plain brown rug from ikea? The price was displayed but not the name. Starts with an 's'. Thank you!

Yes, you are right. I bought my son’s knife, fruit squeezer, cutting board and soap dispenser from 100 yen shops (Daiso and Seria) here in Japan. I love your videos. ^-^

Thank you for giving so many ideas that make Montessori accessible for so many. Those who are suggesting you are uneducated because you show plastic items clearly missed the point (and those who get upset about a mispronunciation aren't offering anything constructive at all). Montessori is about following the children and fostering their learning and independence. Making Montessori accessible by showing more affordable options like plastic items or DIY is amazing. Suggesting that you can't do Montessori (or Montessori inspired) activities unless it's with certain materials automatically limits the children who will have access to the Montessori lifestyle. I'm thankful that you take your knowledge of Montessori and offer options for those who don't make a ton of money but, still want to give their children opportunities to grow and learn. I think that's the most important thing vs getting hung up on what the materials are made out of. Maria Montessori created many things with what was easily and cheaply available at the time and worked with the poorest children. Today, plastic is the most easily available and cheapest so, if that's what a family uses so they can give their children activities to learn while also paying their bills, then I don't think anybody should shame them for that. Thank you again for videos like this. You expand thinking about what can be used and allow more people to consider and access Montessori which is a big win for more kids.

@@beesweremeanttofly2620 thanks!! I get so frustrated by the gatekeeping and demeaning tone of other comments. It's fine to point out that traditionally more natural materials are used but, suggesting that someone isn't educated because they show affordable options that happen to be plastic isn't helpful, kind or providing any sort of helpful information to the creator or the audience.

We use those plastic trays for so much! Perfect for building Lego kits on!

Thanks so much for this informative and fun video as a soon to be Montessori parent and a current Montessori teacher it was helpful and gave great ideas, I do want to add similar to another comment I saw in traditional Montessori fashion children do need to realize things will break in order to be more gentle and careful with the materials so plastic is not recommended in a traditional setting I know your video was Montessori inspired but in case anyone was scrolling and had the curiosity of a more traditional Montessori work shelf I just wanted to add that knowledge overall fantastic video really enjoyed watching this

We do use plastic. Ideally we want to have a variety of materials but no one said “no plastic” I have plastic in my classroom and we’re AMI Montessori school. I do like this video. It’s perfect for Montessori at home.

can you do recommended children's music

Can you please add subtitles?

Nice ideas. The only things that bother me is all those plastic. Montessori normally focusses on natural materials, like wood.

9:26 even more fun of an activity; make this basket yourself. KZread: pine basket diy

I like a lot of your ideas. However Montessori uses real forks, spoons and plates. We are trying to get rid of plastic and it develops good skills.

Whatever toys our 2.5 year old has access to, they end up scattered on the floor.

How, montess' made by chinese children ! 👍

Pourquoi faire de la publicité pour Montessori?

Yes, montessori is about practocal lofe skills but it rather encourages the use of real glass instead plastic cups and dishes. We need to be aware and educate ourselves a bit better instead of running to copy everything people do and say on social media.

Montessori method dosent use plastic.please stop to sponsor not the troght. If you really like the method you can take a montessori couse some they are cip and on line but at liste they give to you the real sense. Thank you
