    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 🙂

    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.
  • @olivesgarden
    I LOVE that wall hanging, "Play is the work of a child" so true!
  • @wednesday55
    I'm 38 but I kinda want to play these games too. The colored water mixing game with the ravioli tray looks like fun!
  • @givemecake

  • @acpe2911
    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.
  • @fairyjackalope
    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!
  • @lilym6754
    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! 😊
  • @crisneh0306
    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!! ❤❤
  • @aishakamil2829
    I'm so happy with the way you explain everything making it more doable, something I find lacking in montessori blogs. Thank you!
  • @Daymickey
    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!
