The 45 Layout, Montessori Math At Home
The Montessori 45 Layout is an early place value work. Your child explores and builds a physical place value chart on the floor with Golden Beads and large number cards, units through thousands. This layout will help your child to visualize and develop an understanding of place value, order of numbers, and concentration.

The Best Design And Construct Toys & Montessori Materials, Building At Home With Kids
My love of interesting versatile developmental toys started many years ago, initially due to the collection my sister put together for her boys. Later during my work in program development and creating a community/family developmental toy lending library I had so many things in mind that I pictured our future children loving, learning, creating and exploring with.
I thought I would share the favourites that we own and love with you.
There are many varying opinions for toys out there, and we are toy enthusiasts so you will find no judgement here or great toy debate. I firmly believe that in following your child and their passions it will lead you to some amazing choices that are a fantastic fit for them.
The moments I feel that the amount of toys become an issue (speaking for us here) is if I haven't planned storage to house them in a manageable child friendly and accessible way. At times if I get overwhelmed with organization I try to remember that it was I who made these purchases in love.
As our children grow we make toy choices based more specific interests. We have amazing family support who ask us what our children would love in terms of gifts. We also take advantage of great local used sites to find deals on more expensive items like Playmobil. In Canada we also have a discount retailer Winners/Home Sense that often has amazing deals on incredible (often more expensive toys) found at exclusive retailers.
Our children love a range toys, and toys designed for all types of design and construction. They also have a tremendous love of creative and imaginative dramatic play so we have lots of dress up, different types of dolls and figures (especially Playmobil) and puppets. Art and crafting supplies etc.
In this post I will concentrate on our developmental toy collection and our current storage set up in our new (er) family room. We designed and built our family room addition last fall with help from family, friends and neighbours. This was a huge amount of work! In the end we were able to design the room around our needs, and most importantly greatly needed storage. We live in an old historic house that we adore, but storage space had always been an issue. Planning for this space was many years in the making, so it was pretty amazing to see it take form.
On to our our toy favourites! Remember this is a collection that grew over many years with our
children. These are all toys and materials that we own and purchased. None of the toys featured here are paid for product review. The links we will provide are affiliate links that if clicked are at no cost to you, but could result in a small amount to help fund our site. Thank you in advance!

A Visit To San Francisco - Travelling The Pacific Coast With Kids Part 1
First Stop San Francisco...
This is a list of the stops we made! You can take tours, but if you check online there is a driving tour that you can do yourself (link below). This option was amazing for us! This meant that we could stop when we needed to, eat or linger in places that we wished a little more time.
Golden Gate Bridge, Golden Gate Park
Cable Cars
Pier 39
Fisherman's Warf
Lombard Street (famous zig zag street)
The Painted Ladies

DIY Play Structure - Ideas & Fun!
When Xander was around 2.5yrs we decided to build our own play structure and swing set. The sets we were finding were either extremely expensive, or reasonable but made from materials that didn't seem to have a lot of longevity. We started out with one tower, and bought a hardware kit to build what we wanted.

A Visit to the Canadian Museum of Nature, Ottawa
We have a family membership for Museum of Nature in Ottawa, and it is amazing! This time around we were there to visit the Nature Unleashed Exhibit. We were a little sad that there was no photography allowed to capture the kids experiencing this amazing exhibit.
This was all about extreme weather events, and natural disasters. There were interactive volcano simulators, and models to help understand the effects of earth quakes and so much more.

Welcome!
Hi there! I'm the author and creator of Making Montessori Ours. We are a busy home learning family sharing our favourite learning resources, road trips and travel, crafty fun, home diy projects, sewing, and tons more! I am not as active in posting about our children as they have grown, and their interests are their own. When they give permission I shall create posts that include them. Our interests as a family continue to grow, and we share our news and daily updates on Facebook and Instagram, if you wish to catch up with us there please do! As requested I will continue to develop materials and products for our shops, as I love the creative process. There are so many things that our children loved that I would love to share. For those who have been with us for many years we thank you! For those who are new to us we welcome you!
In the spirit of transparency ~ We are an amazon affiliate. If you click on any amazon link on this site and make a purchase (at no cost to you) we receive a small sum. It's important that you know!
