Object to picture matching, is one of most frequent Montessori activity. It’s also one of those activities that can keep a wide range of children happy. Through these the child learns to identify the similar features and to name animals or plants in the picture. The variety of the activities is endless; wherever possible the children will start by pairing real fruits, vegetables, plants to photographs or printed images. Mia loves object to picture matching activities.
This time I’ve put together sea animals matching activity. Mia was attentive for the first three animals and wouldn’t settle right after. I took that as a sign of tiredness so we need to stop and did it the next day. And yes, she was interested and did full activity.
Hello…I’m Leila, montessori teacher, content creator, blogger, maker and dreamer. I’m also a wife and mother of two who fill my days with sunshine and make my world a happier place.
When my first child was born I spent a lot of those early sleep deprived nights thinking about the future. I decided that I should stop waiting for this magical ‘one day’ moment to arrive and should start making my daydream come to life. So although my dreams are big I am only taking things one day at a time. Being proud of small achievements I’m taking some of my grand plans and taking tiny steps in a new direction who knows what the future might hold.
This small space is my notebook, a place to share words and ideas…sometimes just a sentence or two and other times a great tumble of thoughts. Somewhere to treasure and preserve the lovely times I have with my own little one and to share our wanders, makes and small adventures.
I am so pleased that you stumbled across my little space…I hope that my musings will be cheerful, charming and uplifting…and that this space will be a happy place to visit.

I love the Montessori idea of connecting pictures to real, tangible items. Plus…my boys would love creating stories with the animals. 🙂
