Montessori Activities: 14 Months Old.

Eva started walking a bit more this month so she’s been busy. Here are some activities she’s been interested in.

Barn and animals: She started showing interest in the barn and especially enjoys all the animal figurines.

DIY Felt hearts: This is a little themed activity with Valentine’s Day this month! I had really large white felt and hand cut a heart, then cut out smaller hearts in pinks and reds. Since they’re felt they stick together! She loved this.

Light table: This was a major interest for Eva this month! You can read about our light table here.

Tunnel: Some days were just too bitterly cold outside. So I broke out the tunnel and it was a HUGE hit. At first she was cautious but after she saw Javi and Lola do it, she was all about it.

Painting: We painted! I gave her a tempera cake and a few different style brushes and she had a blast. An art apron is a must!

Puzzles: This month she really started showing interest in “longer” puzzles like this 5-piece puzzle. Before she was doing single piece puzzles, or no more than 3 pieces.

Water play: Javi and Lola got some KiwiCo boxes and this life saver was inside! It’s a shallow inflatable “pool”. Eva was OBSESSED. I’m sure a shallow baking pan or something similar would offer the same level of entertainment.

Other DIYs: I put up a post about some DIY materials I made and you can find that here.

Light switch extenders: And the unsung hero of the month is… our light switch extenders! She is finally tall enough to reach them and they are an attraction!
