   Summary: common sense
The book was somewhat informative and helpful but I felt several of the exercises were things my toddler and I already do. If anything, the book is a good reminder of things we should be teaching our toddlers and children instead of parking them in front of a t.v. all day.

   Summary: Short, Simple, Practical
This book is a short, simple, practical guide to doing Montessori-inspired activities at home with your kids. There are several dozen examples of Montessori learning activities, each 2-3 pages long, with instructions on how to gather or make what's needed -- it could be as simple as finding colored buttons for sorting into an egg crate, pouring rice or sand between cups in a tray, or making salt clay with flour, salt, and water. Sure, they sound simple, but this kind of play teaches kids about cause and effect and stimulates the senses without needing battery-powered blinking lights and beeping sounds.

The activities are simple and give even the youngest kids opportunities for open-ended play while keeping an older kid's attention. As an example, I made the salt clay for my two year old and five year old and gave them plastic placemats and some cookie cutters, and they had fun for an hour making and naming what they made. Cost? $0, since I used things I already had in my house.

   Summary: Perfect guide for getting started!
My 7-year-old and 2-year-old have gone to Montessori school since they were babies, so when I recently decided to quit working and keep the 2-year-old home with me for a couple of years, I immediately sought out this book to help me prepare my home classroom. It has been wonderful for getting started. I can see though that I will eventually need more in-depth Montessori instruction manuals so I can fully understand how to introduce and teach using the more advanced Montessori materials. But this book was excellent for teaching the basics!

   Summary: Great place to start when looking to homeschool a preschooler
I originally checked this book out from the library, and I appreciated the information so much I ordered a copy for myself. I am investigating homeschooling my 4 year old, and I wanted to get some information on hands-on, child-friendly teaching methods. This is a great beginning. This book has several chapters of narrative, that cover all areas of education (literacy, math, science, fine and gross motor skills), followed by many pages of how-to instructions on making the materials and supplies needed to teach in Montessori style. I was very excited by this book, and felt that it really equipped me to teach my 4 year old self-care, independence skills as well as furthering her knowledge of letters, numbers, and the world around her.

   Summary: Good, but lacking just a little
This was a very good and very easy to read and use book. However I found that it fell just a little short and needed more. I do recommend it though. Especially if you don't really want a lenghty read.
