Скачать или смотреть Montessori geography shelf rotation for winter

I used to think learning about animals meant flashcards and facts.
This setup reminded me how much more kids learn with their hands.
Cold-colored pompoms became ice.
Wooden cubes turned into shelters.
The animals moved, fell, and found their way back.
We talked about which animals live in Antarctica — not because I explained, but because they noticed.
That’s the part I keep coming back to: when learning feels like play, curiosity leads the way.
I didn’t plan a lesson.
I planned an invitation.
And somehow, that led to conversations about ice, animals, and cold places — without me prompting a single thing.
Watching learning happen naturally feels like a small parenting win… especially in winter.
Hands-on play helps kids connect ideas, notice patterns, and learn naturally.
