Good Fun with Purpose

Montessori Prescription for children with learning disabilities by Orem & Coburn: Great description and purpose of manipulative. Explained introductions. Provided incite for school age and adolescents. Lists activies. Not a lot of pictures but that is why I like this one....

Basic Montessori Learning Activities for under fives by David Gettman

We are doing puppets too. It seemed an easy, fun, yet totally productive way to internalize language. We will be making sock and felt puppets then retelling (reading a book, making characters, retelling it in theater) and making up stories (such as Evies latest adventure to the dirt track or his lego/ rescue heroes adventures).
Playtime Rhymes by priscilla Lamont: Rhymes and body movements for the very young, but a great start!
101 finger plays, stories and songs to use with finger puppets by Diane Briggs: Multiple songs and rhymes to use with each set of puppets. Convenient and multipurpose.
