Montessori friendly books for Winter

Nov 23, 2020 - Books , Christmas - By Carine Robin

As I don't want to display my Christmas books just yet, I have pulled out our collection of winter books.

I am seriously missing my playgroup and the joy of rotating seasonal activities. Hence, this post to inspire you instead of me, displaying my collection in my group.

Montessori Friendly Winter books:

The ones I have:

Winter

A beautiful wordless book, part of collection of 4 (about the seasons of course)

The hat

and

The Mitten

Both have a similar plots, the child lost a hat or a mitten and the animals take refuge in it. If you have a hat or an oversize mitten, you can combine with animals figurines.

The shortest day

The beginning of winter is marked by the solstice, the shortest day of the year. Long ago, people grew afraid when each day had fewer hours of sunshine than the day before. Over time, they realized that one day each year the sun started moving toward them again. In lyrical prose and cozy illustrations, this book explains what the winter solstice is and how it has been observed by various cultures throughout history. Many contemporary holiday traditions were borrowed from ancient solstice celebrations
