Format:Paperback
I bought this book for my 1 year old hoping that it would give me more of a background on montessori teaching and some ideas of things to do with her. There is very little information about montessori methods and the ideas for children my daughter's age are things that most people do anyway (eg peekaboo and singing 'if you're happy and you know it').
There are more suggestions for older children and these are slightly more imaginative, but it's really just a book of things to do rather than specifically about montessori.

Title is Misleading-Very Little for Babies under 2..
28 Sep 2009
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
As a Montessori-trained preschool teacher, I was very excited about getting ideas from this book to use at home with my one year old. When it arrived, I was very disappointed in the utter lack of suggestions for children under 2. The great majority of ideas in this book are for older 2 and 3 year olds. What's worse is the handful of ideas for younger babies couldn't be more basic: rolling a ball, playing peekaboo, looking in a mirror, singing "If you're happy and you know it". Now I know encouraging play for young babies should be simple and developmentally appropriate, but come on! I suggestHow To Raise An Amazing Child the Montessori Way for a great, easy to read introduction to Montessori in the home and Games to Play with Toddlers, Revised (Games to Play Series)for much better Montessori-inspired activities for your 12-24 month old. Silberg's book in particular has great ideas for making independent activities for your child out of inexpensive, household materials.

Don't waste your time
18 Mar 2011
Format:Paperback
The title of the book was a little misleading. I though it would be a little more in depth Montessori based activities. Most likely anyone looking to purchase this book has the common knowledge to come up with the same activities presented in this book on their own. It promotes spending time together with your child, but most likely, anyone looking into buying this book already does that and is just looking for new ideas. I find YouTube to be more "inspirational" on finding ideas to teach and play at the same time for your young children.

Montessori Rocks

Format:Paperback
Words can't explain the benefits of the Montessori method. This book has lots of "approved" games and activities and I'm glad I got it because trying to do Montessori without any help is useless for me.
