I'm a real lover of books and truly believe libraries are treasures. Our new unit has Montessori-inspired activities using free library printables along with a new Montessori-inspired library pack for subscribers to our free newsletter at Living Montessori Now!
This unit is designed to celebrate both school libraries and public libraries ... even home libraries! The timing of our unit goes along with School Library Month, International Children's Book Day, and National Library Week in April!
You'll find many activities for preschoolers through early elementary throughout the year in my previous PreK + K Sharing posts. You'll also find ideas for using free printables to create activity trays here: How to Use Printables to Create Montessori-Inspired Activities.
At Living Montessori Now, I have a page with lots and lots of free printables.
