DIY Montessori 3-6 Materials


It would be lovely to buy an entire Montessori classroom with complete materials, manipulatives, and printables all ready to go. In fact, that would rock my world! The "real life" part of this though, is that it's completely unaffordable for me to buy everything I'd like to for my daughter's schooling. The GREAT news, is that there are MANY Montessori 3-6 materials that can be crafted DIY style.

Before you begin, keep in mind the key principles to preparing Montessori Materials: Isolation of Quality and Control of Error (thanks, Living Montessori Now!).

In case you are able to purchase some of the materials, make sure you get the best deal! Montessori Album has:

  • Price comparison for Fabric Boxes
  • Price comparison for The Movable Alphabet
  • Price comparison for Metal Insets and related supplies
  • Price comparison for Sandpaper Letters

  • For everyone wanting to save some money and get crafty, though, here are links to get you started!
