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!!

Thank you for the wonderful giveaway. I just started a new classroom this year and could really use the material. The culture material would be the most help right now.

Here's my comment for the second day.

Unknown said...

This is a great giveaway!! I just started a new classroom this year, so any of these materials would be wondeful. The culture material would be very helpful right now.

I keep thinking about this giveaway and hope that I WIN! Can't believe how many comments you've received!

Ash said...

The geography section is what most interests me! I don't follow a strict Montessori program at my centre but I do tend to use a lot of the materials (practical life, etc), so this would be WONDERFUL!!!!! And both my sons are in French Immersion in school (K and Grade 3), so the language section with both English and French would be excellent. Thank you!

Ash said...

I Like Counting Coconuts on Facebook, yes I do!

Laura said...

Hello ~ Checking in with you on this fine MN day. All the materials that are offered would be most excellent. Have a great day!

What a great giveaway! What would be most useful to me is the teacher manuals. I just looked online at teacher training and it was beyond our price range ... so this would be hugely helpful in working with my two little ones. Thank you so much for offering such wonderful ideas!

I've just started Montessori playgroup in Australian rural town. We have no Montessori centers/schools in a 1000km radius. I am always searching for new resources and I follow your blog for inspirational activities! This CD give away would be a lifesaver for my little playgroup as we don't have an access to lots of Montessori resources! My playgroup will most definitely benefit from science and literacy resources!

Day 3 here. I have purchased and downloaded quite a few materials in the past couple of months from them and they are Sophie's favorite home activities. I like that they have been so quick and easy for me to print out and get set up for her. I have not had as much time to put together elaborate activities for her and these fit the bill so wonderfully!

jgabrielse said...

I love the idea of Cookware Classification Cards & the
Recycling Matters Card Set...I teach for a Montessori Teacher Training Center and am always looking for ideas to pass along.

Commenting again about how amazing these would be for me!

I left a post on the seed graph instead of this one:( But I liked it so much I got distracted:)

Jen said...

This is an amazing giveaway! I'm not sure what would be the most useful but at this point I think the language cards would be the most helpful for my 4 and 2 year olds. Thanks!

I have been following your blog for about 10 months now, however I don't have my own blog up and running yet. I am so new to the world of computers - read old - but I have been learning quickly this year. I moved to an all kindergarten campus this year that requires computers so I am learning fast!! I love your blog. It is encouraging, creative and inspiring. I hope to exchange ideas soon, once I have mastered enough skills to let my blog "go live." Thank you for sharing!!

Hopefully, this counts as my daily entry, since I just did my, "I follow and love your blog!" comment. The Montessori math materials are so deceptively simple yet so well thought out. I am loving the lessons I am using with my kindergartners and my four year old at home.
