Montessori has arrived in our house

We have been rather Montessori inspired for a while. But now we have some of the REAL stuff. I don't even know what some of it is. There is going to be a lot of learning on my part so we can take full advantage of these resources. But I am excited and cannot wait to get stuck into some of these materials. We were so excited we spilled the box all over the floor for a quick look before starting dinner. It was like Christmas opening all the boxes.

In our box we have:

• Knobbed Cylinders
• Pink Tower
• Brown Stair
• Colour Box
• Constructive Triangles
• Uppercase Sandpaper Letters (all blue)
• Mystery Bag
• Binomial cube
• Number Rods
• Spindle Box
• Numbers and Counters
• Hundred Board
• Introduction to Decimal System
• Bead Stair
• Stamp Game
• Addition Strip Board
• Subtraction Strip Board
• Multiplication Board
• Division Board
• Fraction Skittles

Are there still things on my wish list ..... oh yeah. Most of that I won't ever bother getting, I just don't have the space. But what I really want to add is:

• a set of 3D shapes
• Number cards to 9000
• tens and teens board (I have aspirations to make these)
• Metal insets (considering making these out of wood too)
• Pythagoras board (I will probably make this too)
• bead set
