Montessori-Inspired Construction Activities Using Free Printables

By Deb Chitwood from Living Montessori Now 

Construction is a popular theme with preschoolers, especially with vehicle lovers. I have a new unit for construction vehicle lovers and one that also focuses on construction workers, architects and engineers, and a variety of building activities. This unit has many free construction printables and Montessori-inspired construction activities! You'll also find a construction-themed newsletter subscriber freebie at LivingMontessoriNow.com! 

You'll find many activities for preschoolers through first graders throughout the year along with presentation ideas in my previous posts at PreK + K Sharing. 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 post with resource links of Free Printables for Montessori Homeschools and Preschools.
