Montessori Christmas Finds on Etsy - to buy or DIY
Today on Etsy I ordered my children matching Christmas aprons, they are so cute. So I thought I would share some of the other Montessori Christmasy things I am loving on Etsy and a couple of things I'm intending to DIY. Etsy is always such a huge source of inspiration for me!
- Christmas Stickers - for making cards, putting on gift labels and decorating presents!
- Christmas Card Making Set - perfect, just put out all the supplies and have the children make their own Christmas cards.
- Paint a Christmas Ornament - this is a lovely idea if you don't have time to make the ornaments, I've seen wood cut out ornaments that just require painting too.
- Christmasy Bibs - adorable fabric. We have the stretchable neck bibs from this same store and they are so useful, Otto can get them on and off independently.
- Christmas Montessori Apron - there are lots of Montessori aprons (with the velcro on the side) in Christmas and even wintery themes. Perfect for making treats like gingerbread and creating some Christmas cheer.
- Christmas Placemat - an easy way to introduce some Christmas decor into the child's table setting. We have a Christmas table cloth that fits perfectly on our children's table too.
- Christmas Rolling Pins - on my wish-list! They leave a pattern when used on biscuits or shortbread.
- Christmas Tree Puzzle - I love this idea.
- Christmas Cloth Napkins - love! If you don't use cloth napkins with your children perhaps consider it, it teaches manners (grace and courtesy) in a really eco-friendly way.
- Mini Christmas Tree Puzzle
- Christmas Tree Stacking Toy
- Christmas Tree Lacing Toy
- Christmas Crochet Rattle/Teether
- Christmas Sensory Ball and Crochet Teether - we have a ball like this (but in a different colour) and the texture is great for little ones.
- Felt Christmas Tree - I know Otis would love this and it's absolutely DIYable.
- Christmas Tic Tac Toe - this would be a lovely stocking stuffer or gift to friends.
- Nesting Snow Men - ok more winter than Christmas themed but they are really cute.
- Christmas Three Part Cards - just because developing vocabulary and reading skills are important at this time of year too.
