Montessori-Inspired Work to Do Outside in Spring & Summer

What if I told you that your Montessori learning doesn’t have to stay inside the classroom? It doesn’t! You can apply the same Montessori principles that you use in your classroom or homeschool space to the great outdoors, and there are so many ways to do Montessori-inspired work outside in the Spring & Summer. Here are some of my favorites:

  • Flower planting (Science)
  • Flower watering (Practical Life)
  • Flower dissection and labeling the parts (Science)
  • Life Cycle of a Tree/Plant/Flower (Science)
  • Grass cutting with scissors (Practical Life)
  • Using nature objects as math counters (Math)
  • Flower color sorting (Sensorial)
  • Going on a scavenger hunt and matching to pictures of spring/summer objects (Language)
  • Scrubbing your outside toys (Practical Life)
  • Making a nature collage (Art)
  • Making chalk paint (Art)
  • Painting with water on a stones/sidewalks (Art)
  • Flower arranging (Practical Life)

The bonus to doing these things outside? Easy clean up!
