I just love how you show that finances do not keep you from being able to do Montessori with your children. Keeping it simple and mostly homemade helps moms keep up with the stages of baby and toddlerhood. Simply making birthdays and Christmas the time to add special activities keeps it affordable.
Don't get rid of the junk drawer!!! It's so magical! I loved collecting things when I was little. I still hold on to some of them. Like a bottle of perfume my mom bought me when I was six in eurodisney! She knows how to see the beauty in things! It's so precious! De-clutter, but don't get rid of the drawer! :)
Also had to note I love how you're not bothered when she loses interest in things, or uses them 'wrong'. My son is 1.7, and some of the games he has he just likes to do he's thing, and you keep reminding me how normal and beautiful that is. Thanks ♥️
Hi..I'm a new mom of a 2 week old and i just love ur videos. I wonder how you make time for all this organisation and diy activities with 2 kids to look after. Can you please do a video about how you manage your time and your daily routine with 2 kids? It would be an inspiration for moms like me who are kinda overwhelmed with motherhood!!
Seeing the DIY activities was very helpful!
Seriously, I wish this meant more than it does, because I know you are so hot and popular now with Montessori. But you have been the BIGGEST inspiration to me and my family. I went to a Montessori preschool, and it stuck with me through me entire livelihood, including college. I aimed to me a early Ed teacher, and realized all I wanted to be was my girls mom.
Thank you for the holistic approach you have to social media, being a mom that dislikes screens, i some how have so much appreciation for all you do. It is so honest and pure, you are a great mom and I know I don’t have to tell you that. Keep going, you keep us mamas that are true, strong.
Junk drawer- love it!!! I have a junk box which I hate as well but my son loves it, I just put all the random stuff there and once in a while go through it and throw away the stuff he doesn’t play with it anymore. It really is junk! It even has empty bottles that he just likes opening and closing and using as percussion instrument... lol
Thank you for sharing, now I have to watch some older videos again for some diy activities 😊
As a primary school math teacher I must say this: A lot of what you put in the Hand-Eye boxes is actually Math (or can be used for math). Math, especially pre-math is much more than numbers and counting. It is shapes, patterns, geometry, classifications, positional relationships, ...
eg. If the stacking pegs, geoboard or lite-brite are used with templates/pattern cards thats math because the child has to translate a 2 dimentional "map" into a 3 dimentional "landscape". Or using the lacing beads to lace patterns like red-green-red-green. Making recuring patterns like that is also a great math activity that can be done with loads of different materials such as pompoms, buttons, building blocks, ... Also the geoboard can be used for many other math activities about geometric shapes, like "Can you make different triangles?".
I love it!! You're so systematic in your organisation, while still keeping it simple. Thanks for sharing.
Its 1am but I’ll watch
Yep, usually what I say. Then I turn around and spend $70 on eye cream for dark circles! I really should get smarter.
I love, love, LOVE seeing some of the DIY toys you've created: the bottles filled with different craft materials, the teething ring and especially the tops of the baby wipe packets repurposed into a peek-a-boo panel!
As Montessori has become more well known, a lot of Insta accounts and YT channels have cropped up and it often seems like you have to spend a fortune on buying toys that conform to this method of teaching. It's so refreshing to see someone make their own and in a more sustainable way!
Thanks for sharing! This is great!! I love seeing how other parents create structure for your family!
I need to implement the book rotation!!! I have WAY too many out, and it usually just results in a big ol mess. Thank you so much for all of your helpful information!!!! 👏🏻❤️
I want to raise my kids Montessori and I was just thinking back on my childhood. I realized the toys I enjoyed the most weren’t the ones that had buttons and made noise. The toys I was obsessed with were baby dolls, play dough, cars, our tree house, blocks, stuffed animals, and puzzles. It was because my brother and I would create little world and build towers and use our minds. Kids naturally go for those type of toys. They like to create their own ideas and use practical things. I also used to take our kitchen utensils and play in the backyard by digging dirt and things to make “soup” 😂
Such a great video! Thanks Ashley!
Your videos are so helpful and give me a ton of ideas for our LO. Thanks for sharing, Ashley!
I love the way you organized the things. I will do so. Thank you very much for sharing a great idea.
Another amazing video that thank you for taking extra steps and time showing all the toys on each box and on Mia shelf as well!Provide me more ideas to know how to organize mine now :) and Those DIY toys brought those memories back that I had followed yours in the past as well!
I love love your peekaboo activity! You are so creative.
I love this advice my first many years ago I did the typical mistake of having all her toys in room and not very meaningful ones at that.
By the time she was 5 it was always disorganised and a longstanding fight thruout years to get her to clean up, help And let toys go. My little girl now takes care of her toys actively helps tidy them up. And proudly cleans up her mess without help, thanks to this method. I've learned from my past mistakes thankfully lol
thank you thank you for all these videos. they help so much
Omg the junk drawer it’s real!!!! I have a bucket full of “ransoms” and for my surprise those are the ones that she plays with the most lol!!!! So awesome to see what kind of activities you have for both I diff stages it’s so helpful!!! Thank you for this videos!
Once you start adding more math activities you can make a box for basic concepts. Basic concepts can include your sorting activities, colors, and shapes.
I love how you have a solid amount of activities while clearly being more minimalistic and intentional in getting her activities.
Super helpful video! Thank you!
You read my mind ! I’ve been so curious about your whole collection
Please, make videos where you explore each toy / activity.
Hi Ashely! I love the organization system you have in the closet upstairs, very simple! We have the same Melissa and Doug animal sound puzzle that Alex doesn't enjoy as much as when he was a baby :). I just bought the nesting dolls for Christmas and I can't wait for him to open it. I saved it on my shopping list from one of your older videos :D. The peek a boo sensory board is such a great idea, I love the idea of reusing the wet wipes' tops and gluing them to the cardboard ❤️! I almost bought that hedgehog as part of the Christmas presents, I might get it next year :).
Big hugs and all the best!
Ashley, your hand is a fantastic on camera actor! :)
My daughter loves the ribon lid!!! Thanks for giving me that idea in the older video. We take it with car rides and weekend trips cause it didn't needs much space.
Hi Ashley! I just wanted to let you know that I think you're great & that your family is adorable! I went to the beginning of your channel (even the other one) and watched all of your videos. I feel like I can definitely relate to you in many ways. Thanks for the amazing Montessori videos. They are truly enlightening without being preachy. You're very down to earth & I appreciate that. Also - my daughter Celeste was born on March 14, 2019. Her and Mia definitely have close birthdays :)
This is so interesting seeing some of these activities!! We've used lots of these in some schools i attended as a child. So early 90's. It seems everything is so more techy now and I dont see any of these toys/activities, which is sad. I loved school as a child and had so much fun playing and doing activities as a kid but now as an adult I cannot focus on something so simple. I'm trying so hard to bring some of these into our home. I am so glad I found your channel, love your videos!
The dollar store has awesome 48, 100, 200, and 300 piece puzzles. I cut the picture out and put them in Ziploc bags. This allows us to keep all of them organized and have a great variety very inexpensively. Puzzle mats are awesome and allow them to put them away from little siblings when they are not working on them. Quiet time is a great time for puzzles for the preschool- early reader. We have a quiettime and you can sleep, read, or do quiet alone activities-legos, puzzles, beading, or other handicrafts.
Thank you so much for this video! I needed an idea for the categories of toys. I want to make sure my daughter has multiple options for toys, but I wasn't sure how I should divide them. My daughter loves cards, but she just throws them around!
Is there a reason you don't have a pretend play box?
Hi I love this video
Please do a video about how and when you rotate toys. Also, can you give any tips on keeping the many choking-hazard activities my two and a half year old does out of reach for my eight month old ? I'm having a hard time allowing her to do those things because he is already so mobile and gets into everything she's doing.
Thank you for showing the junk drawer! 🤣 I was actually putting stuff away while watching the video and I thought to myself, why do we have things that don't fit into a category and where the hell should I put it - now I know that it's not just us (and that it's ok I make a junk drawer) 😂 btw my toddler carries that stuff around the house, too hahaha
(totally not related to anything, but I noticed the book on Kylie's shelf)
I
Yesss the junk! We have a container of it also and it drives me crazy. I would love to declutter it, but its genuinely my kids most treasured collection. These junkie little plastic things get used for hours of small world play and they come up with the greatest stories.. so I guess I'll have to deal with it haha
hi thanks for sharing
Thank you
Very interesting to see your storage method!
I'm curious... Does Kylie actually uses her doll house?
❤️ ❤️ ❤️
I find with Montessori types of activities and toys there are a lot of choking hazards. Obviously supervision is necessary, but how do you approach the small pieces for her. Things like the beading and the buttons for example.
Could you do a video on how you create the animal, insects etc cards??? I want them for my son but haven’t seen any like that in store and would like to have some ! Thank you!
My son loved baby’s for such a short time my daughter on the other hand loves babies it started around her 1st birthday and now thinks she needs a baby or 2 in her hand at all times! So I think it comes down to every child is different and some love babies others just kinda care less 🤷♀️ and some come around to it later I love that you didn’t just get rid of them and who knows mia my love them
Will Sarah’s silks work for the tissue box?? My son is always wasting wipes he LOVES pulling them out
Hi there! Thanks for all your videos! They're so helpful for this new mom :) Could you make a video about decluttering as an activity with your kids? I'm interested how you help them decide what to keep while maintaining the independence Montessori promotes. I'd also love your thoughts on Montessori inspired toy subscriptions like KiwiCo, Lovevery, and MontiKids. Do you like the idea of a subscription or do you think buying/making individual materials is better? Thanks :)
I Loved your vídeo
How do you manage your littles with your dogs - especially Mia since she’s on the floor. How do you manage the dog hair and keeping pups from knocking the girls over?
Do you still have the junk drawer in Kylie’s room? I have some ideas for you, if so! 1.) turn it into a “restaurant / car busy bag” drawer, and fill up an old toiletry bag or 3 ring binder pencil case with a few of the items + crayons/stickers and a small notebook, etc. I only have an 11 month old, but we are already starting to accumulate some “junk”, so that’s what I plan to do. 2. You could also use them in activities like sorting by letter and sorting by syllable. On a table you just make 2 columns: one for letter “g” for example, and one with letter “s”. Then you put all the “junk” that matches one of those letters in a basket for her to sort. So you could have like “glasses” or “shark” in the basket. Same with syllables - you just make 2 columns and put one or two-syllable objects in a basket for her to sort. 3. Object-to-picture matching placemat. You lay out a bunch of items on an 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper. Take a photo, and make sure to print to scale, so the items match the size of the real-life objects. Does that make sense? Anyway, long comment, but I thought that might help.
She still has it
Genuine question but what exactly is the difference between classification cards and flash cards? Can you use flash cards or like animals like you would the classification cards?
Classification cards might be the 3 part cards
I literally viewed all your vlogs and am soooo impressive about what you have done! We have one girl just as old as Mia and we also have a large dog. Your house looks so clean. How do you keep it so clean with two kids and two large dogs? Right now, we have to separate the dog from my daughter with a huge baby gate since our dog likes to run to the yard and dig holes. His paws are always dirty and I feel that I have to mop the floor a thousand times.... Would like to hear some of your tips on how to keep the house clean with dog and baby. Thank you!
Would love to see a must haves video, I have an almost 2 year old and don't have a fraction as many toys as you have for your girls and I feel like I'm not helping her reach her potential, I would love to know your "top 10" for different age groups!
I have a baby boy exactly the same age as Mia...would totally be grateful if you could do this very same video Mia version, too. Thank you! I really admire you and your family!
It's the second half of the video ;) Enjoy!
pomminnie She shows Mia's stuff?
Videos showing how each activity works, please.
@@ana.catarina she has those in her CZcams videos labeled Montessori at Home...just scroll down. She has do it yourself ones and some on toys she purchased for Christmas and why.
Hey Ashley! I've watched a lot of your videos, including your positive discipline video. But I was wondering how did/do you teach Mia not to do certain things? Like how do you say no? For example, my little one tries to stand up in his baby bath tub, I tell him I cannot let him do that for his safety, and that if he does it again, then I will lay him down, then I follow through if he tries to stand up again. But what do I say about him kicking his crib? I have been letting him do it because in Maria Montessori's book "The Montessori Method" she talks about how kids will learn that certain noises are not beautiful and will stop. Thank you for your hard work!!
saying no & learning rules is realy important for children! beeing conistent & reasonable with your rules (e.g. this rule is for your safety) is really good for them. we have to follow rules our whole life & it is important to get used to following reasonable rules :)
Noticed you have a few activities with small pieces for Mia/Kylie when she was a bit younger. How do you prevent taste-testing? Do you take certain things away if you’re going to leave the room?
She has completely babyfrofed her kids and her living t
Can you share how you made those memory flash cards? Or can link them if you bought them from? Thank you.
Very trendy!!
Would you do all the lock boxes at once or one box at a time??
Hi. Im very interested with the snail toy. May I know where you brought it? Thanks!
You may be very interested in Lauri toys...they are favorites here at our home.
Every mom has a child’s toy junk drawer 😂 I want to get rid of my daughters junk drawer but honestly my daughter loves her junk drawer too
Mias room could partially be organized by baby stages to prepare for your next little sweethearts. You are an amazing purposeful mother.
Good Morning 💕💕
I love the Montessori philosophy 💕💕💕
I love when you have video about Montessori 💕💕 💕💕 💕💕
Gradually show each activity, how you use it, how the child explores the toy, please.
Thanks for the videos, LIKE, LIKE, LIKE ...

What’s the name of that butterfly book at the bookshelf in the playing room? Looking for a great book about butterflies for my 2.5 year old.
I'm curious: when it comes to putting out blocks or Legos and things like that, do you limit the amount of blocks you put out or do they get to have a whole big bucket of them? Do you put them on a tray or in a deep bucket?
Also slightly off topic but while we're talking about toys, do you have Kylie clean up each tray as she finishes with it, or do you just do a giant clean up at the end of the day?
I am starting to get organized. My daughter is 22months, I think her and Mia are the same age. Do you recommend a shelf like you got for Mia or can I get a shelf like you have for Kylie that we can have for a long time ? BTW where did you get their shelves?
IKEA . I would recommend MIA'S shelf. Less is better
Use a scarf hanger for her stuffed animals ❤️
If you've never done Montessori before but you want to start, when would you say is best to start & where do you start?
Fairly certain she has either answered this before or has a video on it. I'll tell you the name if I can find it😊
Where is your book display shelf from? I’ve been looking for one like the one you have.
MissFletcherin I think she mentioned in one of her videos that her husband built it
How often do you rotate?
Maria Baltierra Ashely did a fantastic video regards of toy rotation. It is super helpful :) Here is the link : czcams.com/video/BTTCyMY-Mcc/video.html
Hsu Evonne thank you!
Is Montessori only for children younger then 5? I have a 5 and 7 yo and would love to use this Montessori method but all the shelf ideas that i have ever seen are to little for my older two.
You touched on it a little bit but the toddler I nanny for has a PERFECT mental catalogue of the toys she has even if they've been away for months. This means she will ask for various specific toys/activities at least a few times a week. Do you have a recommendation on how to handle this? Should I keep facilitating taking out the things she is asking for? She knows that we have to put toys away to make space for the ones she wants but sometimes she will ask for something. I'll get it out, we'll put something else away, and then 10 minutes later she brings it back to me and says "put away." I'm all ears to suggestions
This is probably explained elsewhere, but I’m curious about what the reasoning is behind limiting the toys you put out at a time.
You mentioned flash cards are not the Montessori way. Are there any parent materials on how to teach the Montessori way?
I would like to know as well!
What was the response from your parents when you decided to use this method? I notice that you say you are gifted items that aren’t necessarily Montessori and that you personally wouldn’t get. So how do you manage that with the teaching style of your (and most of our) parents? Is it hard for them to transition? Do they limit interaction so as to not do anything “wrong”? I’d like to know as I think for me, this would be the hardest thing to get my parents to stick with something they just aren’t educated about.
Maybe send them link to these videos? Chances are they would relate to the method and it'd remind them of best activities from their childhood, even if they didn't know the name Montessori :) I wouldn't also call it method/lifestyle/etc (wise toys and cool parenting ideas?) and not emphasise their "uneducation". They'd probably say it's all nothing new anyway but would focus on it more now?
Can you show us how the classification cards act in play?
Maybe Kylie would be interested in dolls if you would have one doll out and have a little bed or stroller for it? I've seen lots of children who love to drive around with a stroller or put a baby doll to bed when they're going to bed themselves. But maybe you've tried these things and she truly isn't interested ;) Also I would introduce it quite early to Mia to see when it catches on (from the age of 1)... I've seen parents who wait too long and the child never really gets interested. But hey maybe Kylie will be interested later on.
Kylie has a stroller for her baby doll and she use it to move around anything but the doll, according to Ashley... 😉
@@odileidysbasanta haha oke I didn't know that, guess she just isn't interested then :)
Did she say where she got those black storage bins? I have all my kid's toys in our guest closet but I see she puts it in their room. Don't they just wanna play with it all the time and ask about it if they know all those toys are there?
she said Ikea, even mentioned the box's name
I love love love your channel, content and inspiration I gain from you for parenting. But - why so much editing cut-aways? I don’t know the technical term but while you talk to the camera it seems like constant edits between sentences. I don’t notice this a lot with some of the other channels I follow. I don’t know why I notice it so much. 😂
Hi Ashley, i had a thought all of Kylies little treasures she can’t part with can be called ‘special’ to distinguish from the rest of the toys.
And I personally believe that’s wardolf encourages imaginary play is popular for girls where as non fiction stories work better for boys, this due to the creative element girls naturally rely on as they mature..
