My son was a micro-preemie…we would love to have this bundle to help him catch up and grow developmentally and academically at home. Thank you so much the give-away.
July 15, 2013 @ 1:45 am
I have a one year old and have just started discovering/reading about the Montessori philosophy. At times it is overwhelming as there are so many resources out there. I was so happy to read this post as it seems like a great way to get started. Thank you!
July 15, 2013 @ 1:48 am
i’d like to use this with my preschooler
July 15, 2013 @ 2:04 am
I would love this for my little one and her cousin!
July 15, 2013 @ 2:11 am
I have been trying for some time to take a more Montessori approach to homeschooling my kids but I just don’t know where to start. This would be perfect for my 5 year old!
July 15, 2013 @ 2:18 am
I’m trying again! 🙂 I get so excited over these giveaways, it’s almost goofy! 🙂 I would love to win this, because I do use printables a great deal with our Montessori homeschool. We have limited space, so many times where the authentic materials may be beautiful, I just don’t have the room for them all, and printables can be stored and set out in a much less space taking way! 🙂
July 15, 2013 @ 2:24 am
Awesome giveaway – I hope I win for my girls! Thank you for giving us the opportunity.
July 15, 2013 @ 2:24 am
I have a two year old who is very big on discovery, I would love to offer her more opportunities to do so. I have toured a few Montessori centers in my city, and I love the idea of her enrolling in one, but at this moment we aren’t able to afford it. If we could find ways to bring the Montessori ideas to our home, it’d be ideal 🙂
July 15, 2013 @ 3:03 am
I would like to win this because I have heard a lot about the book. I think that this would be a wonderful resource for my classroom.
July 15, 2013 @ 3:18 am
My 2.5 year old is heading into the preschool years and I love the montessori method! I’d love to be able to try this at home!
July 15, 2013 @ 3:24 am
I would LOVE to win this to use with my girls!
July 15, 2013 @ 3:28 am

July 15, 2013 @ 4:02 am
I would love to win this as I have 2 kids who attend a Montessori school and since they started I have fallen “in love” with the Montessori ways! I watch my 8 month old grandson and hope to be able to start doing in home day care again soon with a Montessori basis, can’t afford to buy anything really so this would be a HUGE blessing!!!!
July 15, 2013 @ 4:03 am
I want to start homeschooling my 3 year old with Montessori Principles. This book will greatly help me.
July 15, 2013 @ 4:16 am
My 2 year old daughter is really starting to show an interest in further learning. This would be a great starting point for us.
July 15, 2013 @ 4:42 am
I have recently been learning about the Montessori method and it just makes sense to me. This would be a wonderful resource to use with my kids to give them hands on experience for learning while building important life skills that they will carry with them the rest of their lives.
July 15, 2013 @ 4:56 am
I’ve heard great things about montessori education but have never known how to implement it in home.
July 15, 2013 @ 6:12 am
Iv homeschooled for 14 years and have started Montessori now with my grand daughter. This would be a wonderful starter kit for her!
July 15, 2013 @ 6:35 am
This book looks amazing. My DD is so active and has trouble focusing I’m sure this would help me help her.
July 15, 2013 @ 6:46 am
I would love this bundle for my daughter, who is the joy of my life. We will be home educating her using the Montessori method and we get no financial assistance, so winning this will really be a great thing for our family.
July 15, 2013 @ 6:59 am
I would love to win this bundle because i have recently started training my three boys in the montessori way, and could use the materials!
July 15, 2013 @ 8:26 am

New homeschooler with limited budget and VERY hands on kids! This is perfect!
July 15, 2013 @ 3:07 pm
First off, July 20th is my bday!! It would be a great gift. I first heard of montessori about 10 years ago and am getting the privilege of getting to implement it with my son. EVERYDAY we see the wonder and natural learning taking place. Maria Montessori is a brilliant woman and was spot on with her teachings. This package would be a great asset to our curriculum here at home!
July 15, 2013 @ 6:57 pm
First of all thank you very much to give us all the chance to win this great giveaway! I would love to win this for my children in kindergarten. I am an immersion teacher for English in Germany.

July 16, 2013 @ 4:01 am
I’m so excited to have found this blog and the book! 2/3 of my children went to a Montessori preschool and we were thrilled with the results. Unfortunately we couldn’t sustain the price tag. So, they’re now in a non-Montessori school and I want to supplement with Montessori teachings at home. I am hoping the book and this blog will tell me everything I need to know!
July 16, 2013 @ 4:36 am
we’ve just started on our Montessori adventure, my daughter 3 and my son 16 months. It seems some of the things I was doing was a little Montessori-esq. . . 😉 and any and all help is greatly appreciated!
July 16, 2013 @ 6:36 am
This material would help my nephews so much. Can really use it now.

July 17, 2013 @ 3:04 pm
My two older children were blessed to be able to attend a Montessori school when they were young. unfortunately, we are not able to afford it now, so my three younger kids have not been able to experience it. I would love to be able to provide it for them myself. Thank you for this giveaway!
July 17, 2013 @ 11:21 pm
