“Chique Tip: Creative Bouquet

One of the traditions in the Montessori classroom is to make the space a peaceful place.  In PJ’s  class the children arrange flowers to put on the work tables.  Each week a different family contributes  by bringing in flowers or plants.  When it was our turn, we decided to bring a bouquet of Michigan wildflowers since we had just visited. PJ loved hunting around Gramma’s house for pretty weeds!  We carefully placed them in a recycled milk carton filled with water for the car ride.  They looked so nice we just presented them to the teacher in the plastic gallon.  A great way to show kids how to decorate a beautiful space with natural organic, recyclable materials!
