My friend Gail has been creating her own Montessori inspired Christmas activity trays for her preschoolers and has kindly given me permission to share them with you all. So here’s a bonus collection for you in addition to my own 24 that I am currently in the process of sharing during my “What’s in the box?” series.
Jingle bell two colour sorting and tong transfer
2 colour bead threading and pattern making
Pretend cooking tray and colour sort
Bingo dotter do-a-dot pages
Christmas sensory tub
Linking chain patterns. Gail is thinking of making some pattern cards to copy and extend.
Playdough gingerbread man and star cutting and decorating
Geoboard elastic band shapes. You could add some picture cards to copy as well.
Read and green Duplo with base board
Lacing or sewing cards
Posting matchsticks into a spice jar
Threading coloured beads onto chenille pipe cleaners
Gluing Christmas shapes and wool
Blank book for drawing, stamping and stickers
Thanks Gail, love your work!
Has anyone else been inspired to make their own trays? We’d love for you to share.
