A lot of craft stores carry the objects- like Michael's- usually in the dollhouse accessories area. Many times they come in packages containing two or three, so I split the cost and separated the packages with classmates. They aren't cheap, considering how small they are! I think I bought from a company that no longer carries them but found that Montessori 'N Such carries a set as well as Montessori Services.(www.montessoriservices.com/phonetic-object-box-1), also there is a seller on Etsy that sells sets.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01303067618477148155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-398088832349151261.post-47769258941623663682012-01-19T21:29:53.098-08:002012-01-19T21:29:53.098-08:00Hey Amy, I'm struggling to find the "obje...Hey Amy, I'm struggling to find the "objects." I know we do have a "bug" and a cat in the playroom but where did you get the other items? Like the ax, and such? I know I don't need to have the same items, but just knowing how you went about collecting yours would be helpful.

My d...Amy, this post is an answer to prayer for me. My daughter is SO ready to read and I have been clueless how to go about teaching her. This step by step with pictures and instruction is amazing. Thank you for taking the time to do this, I'm sharing it with many friends.<br /><br />Fiona-I know that this is not completely Montessori based, but I must recommend the DVD by Leap Frog, "The Letter Factory". It gave my kids such an interest in letters and they knew their sounds and letters so quickly. It made letters fun! One of my girls knew almost all of her letters and sounds by 25mo. because of the video.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14717510458686318856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-398088832349151261.post-60539594548139083452012-01-10T19:09:37.404-08:002012-01-10T19:09:37.404-08:00We do language activities 2 to 3 times a week. I ...We do language activities 2 to 3 times a week. I wish we had a more consistent schedule but because my daughter goes to morning (pubic school) kindergarten 4 days a week, she likes to spend a lot of home time playing. <br /><br />Fiona- I checked my lesson plans and the I Spy game can be introduced at 2 1/2. and up. For a young child, you would need to start with holding one object in your hand and saying "I spy something in my hand that starts with the _ sound." To keep the interest, you can play "I spy something on the table, or I spy something I am touching, or I spy something I am waving"... Once she understands how to hear the first sound you can use two objects. It is a fun game and my daughters love little objects we collect to put in the I spy tray. I have found it is usually introduced in the classroom at age 3. When your daughter asks about letters I would encourage her to hear the sound. "Yes, it starts with the sound __" I wouldn't discourage interest, keep answering her questions, but direct her towards sound awareness over letter recognition.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01303067618477148155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-398088832349151261.post-52218095557558276012012-01-10T13:58:07.749-08:002012-01-10T13:58:07.749-08:00This post has come at a perfect time for me!

It seems young to start introducing her to the I Spy game. Do you have an opinion on it? My plan was to start very slowly as I don't think she's actually hearing the sounds at the beginning of the words yet.<br /><br />Thanks,<br />FionaFionanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-398088832349151261.post-17939567998171997732012-01-10T02:02:20.444-08:002012-01-10T02:02:20.444-08:00By the way, how often do you do these activities? ...By the way, how often do you do these activities?
