An Amazing Resource...

that I go back to many times a week. Is Mari-Ann's blog named Counting Coconuts. Her blog has something for everyone, true it is based on the Montessori method of teaching, but many of her ideas and crafts can be used for even playtime.

Her sensory tubs are absolutely inspiring, you can find these here. And check out this post on some of her printables that she offers for free. Examples of her printables are;


Life Cycle of a Star Cards
Toddler Lego Counting
Robot Memory Game
Adult/Baby Farm Nomenclature Cards


and much, much more. I swear I can spend hours looking through her site. She makes everything look so easy.


You can follow Counting Coconuts on Facebook


Please check out this site for an amazing array of resources. Here are two of my favorite sensory tubs, honestly I love all the ones she has done.

Here are two of her mini units that I plan on using with the kids. I plan on adapting to meet out needs but she really gives inspiration.
