Montessori Print Shop Giveaway!!

~This giveaway is now CLOSED~

I am SO excited about this giveaway - one of you is going to win something truly amazing!

The lovely Jennifer, owner of Montessori Print Shop, is generously gifting one of my readers a deluxe CD-Rom collection! Eeek! We're talking about a wealth of resources valued at $580!

Seriously, you will not believe just how much is packed onto these two discs. It is nothing short of a complete curriculum with loads of materials covering a wide range of subjects:
Incredible, right?! There are over 950 files on these discs - far too many for me to detail, but here's a sample of what you'll get...

Language cards, everything you need for the pink/blue/green series AND tons of cards in French and Hebrew, plus MUCH more.

Lots of materials and extensions for your sensorial shelves.

A huge geography pack including maps, land and water forms, and tons of cards for your continent boxes.

Math, math and more math - everything from time cards to seasonal counting cards to the entire geometry cabinet!

Additionally, Jennifer has also created some really fun and unique files, such as:
Cookware Classification Cards
Recycling Matters Card Set
Medieval Knights Picture Cards
Animal Tracks Matching Cards
Pin Punching Cards

AND, as if all that weren't enough, included on the discs are FOUR fantastic Montessori teaching manuals as well several other teacher resource files! These are perfect for those of you who can't/don't want to pay for online training courses, but still want to know more about how to create and present lessons.

Want to know the *best* things about these discs? You'll be using them for years! There are materials appropriate for toddlers, preschoolers, and grade school children!

Phew! Can you tell I'm excited?!

Finally just a quick word about quality... it's clear a lot of time and thought went into creating these materials. For example, the images used - one thing I'm really picky about when it comes to the printables we use in our classroom is the type of images used on the printable. I very much prefer real life photos to drawings or cartoons and I was thrilled to see Jennifer has taken the time to hunt down real and beautiful photos for her cards. Thanks, Jennifer!

Ok, so here's how you can enter to win:

Mandatory entry:

1. Leave a comment on this post and let me know which of these materials would be most useful to you.

Extra entries:
2. Like Counting Coconuts on Facebook and leave me a separate comment on this post letting me know you have/already do.
3. Like Montessori Print Shop on Facebook and leave me a separate comment on this post letting me know you have/already do.
4. Follow Counting Coconuts and leave me a separate comment on this post letting me know you have/already do.
5. After today come back and leave me one comment per day on this post until the end of the giveaway.

*NOTE re: separate comments - each entry will be counted as a chance to win. If you put all of your entry requirements into just ONE comment, you'll only have ONE chance to win.

Montessori Print Shop is willing to ship (for free!) this 2-disc set to anyone, anywhere in the world!! This giveaway will end on Friday, April 8th at 9pm Atlantic Time.

Good luck, everyone!!

Fabulous giveaway! I am always on the look out for quality printables. That is awesome that it has Hebrew cards. I'd get a lot of use out of the Geography, Math... well, all of it! This would be a great supplement to our FIAR hands on learning.

I can't even begin to describe the reach of activities that could be accomplished by having such a resource!

zebaby said...

Aside from the usual montessori language & math, they also have some materials for skills I wouldn't even think I need!

MN Madrecita said...

I haven't entered a giveaway in a very long time but this one I couldn't pass up the chance! The math set would be great but I'd be giddy over all of it! :)

It's impossible to say which of the materials would be the MOST useful, but I love the artist nomenclatures. Beautiful and informative.

I think the language cards would be great for us. My daughter just turned 15 months old today and we are hoping to have another soon. We'd get so much use out of these given we're just beginning our educational journey together and I am a SAHM. Thanks for hosting this giveaway. I love all your ideas and get the posts emailed to me and have your page bookmarked for ideas!

For me, math material will be most useful to me. This is because I'm phobia to maths and very weak in mathematics since primary school. I wish i could have these materials to educate my little baby for her to love maths. :)

lisa.price said...

This would be fantastic for my 3 year old who is been actively pursued by his 2 year old brother. We love Montessori, the more we practice, the less "fake toys" we need also great for cerebral palsy as its hands on and gives great life experiences. Love getting my emails from you and montessori print and on facebook too.

I would use any and all of it! I am a kindergarten teacher who is trying to incorporate as much Montessori practice as possible into my room. I am also a homeschooling mom - yes, it's crazy but with wonderful friends we're making it work. My four year old has her shelves in our kitchen and we work in the afternoons and evenings. My fourth grader is taught at a friend's house. Her teacher is a 30 year Montessori veteran who thought she was retired and gave away most of her materials! We have a little "school" of 3 kids who have different learning "differences" such as language delay and ADHD. This is our first year, and we are trying to build up our materials. This would be so helpful!!
I love your blog! Thank you so much for hosting this giveaway!

Hi, Great giveaway. We could really use the materials for our 2 year old daughter. I am always running short of stuff to use to teach my daughter. She has learned the phonetics of each letter but we are working on reading words. We could also use the material for Math, geography, science and etc. We believe a good education starts at home!
God bless. Thanks again.

Liz said...

Your blog is fantastic! I would find the geography and science materials the most useful as they take more time to research and source pictures for.Since I have just added to our family I am finding it quite a juggle researching topics for my 3 1/2 old and caring for the baby too!
