MONTESSORI AT HOME: Activities for Babies 3-6 Months

[@jenniferwong4530]

I'm a Grandma and I made toys for both my children and now grandchildren. When making crinkle tag toys I use the lining plastic from breakfast cereal. It's a food safe plastic that doesn't contain some of the more harmful plastic chemicals. It's strong and durable too, making the tag toys machine washable.

As a nanny I thank you, can’t wait to help enrich the lives of the children i nanny for

[@LavenderCanady]

My baby is due in July and this really helped me a lot. Taught me a lot about my own childhood and how I want things to be better for my baby. It’s also very minimal with a huge impact and I realized all the stuff I wanna buy is so unnecessary.

[@sena_2341]

so happy for you ❤️🥰 the science behind early childhood is so fascinating!

Wait what? My baby has been going outdoor since day 3 ... At the beach at 1 month and 10 times during the summer and walking everyday (she's in the stroller), she LOVES trees.

[@You.Tube.Sucks.]

Whoa, that's a gorgeous baby. This video autoplayed on my KZbin while I was in the other room. I walked in while the baby was lying down, playing with a stretchy ring. I've never been into babies (except my own). They just don't give me feelings like they do other people, but damn, that's a beautiful baby! I love it when people call my baby "beautiful", so I hope the mommy sees this comment & it brightens her day. Will have to save this video & watch it for baby #2, coming in 2022 🤞

[@MomoSmitty]

I remember watching these videos when you first posted them, and now with my own 4month old they have become a fantastic invaluable reference!! Thank you so much for inspiring our family!

[@Just-Darcy]

I am a 20yo studying elementary education and I babysit lots of families with babies and toddlers. I LOVE your videos because they get me excited for when I have kids someday and they give me great ideas for the kids I babysit. 🤗

Back here to where it all started alhamdulilah. My life and our children's lives are forever greatly impacted by us watching this video with my 4 month old daughter at the time and then nearly 3 years later i can't believe it has been nearly 3 years i am back here watching preparing for our 2 month old daughter's progression. I am greatful that you kept these videos up so very grateful. If you ever decide to take these away would you please find a way to make the information at least your commentary and a picture available to see as a guide. I love seeing baby mia can't believe that my suger is so similar to her now that i think of it. I have been wondering who she reminds me of other than my mother's eyes i couldn't figure it out.

[@prepchik07]

This is exactly what I needed!!! My baby is 3 months old and I'm wanting to give her new experiences. This is perfect! Thank you!! Love your videos, they have been so helpful in starting our montessori journey!

[@Jacqueline_R]

Thank you so much!!❤❤❤ I'm a grandmother, but still need this!!! My grandson enjoys Dr Seuss ❤❤❤ we like to show him around the house, explaining everything like a " house safari ".

[@angelinapyankova290]

I don't know how I got your video recommended but I'm glad I watched it. Thank you. My first baby is less than a month old and I'm researching stuff as he gets older, step by step getting more knowledgeable. I thought before that I was too absorbed in being pregnant and doing things right at that stage that I forgot to look into things about baby's first month and all the other aspects of life. Now I can see that it is all part of the experience and I can learn as we are walking together on this journey

[@elisakamke2391]

I watched the video 4 times already! 😍 First time was more than three years ago in my first pregnancy, then when my daughter was three months old, and again, when she was like 5 months. Now watching it again for my three month old son 😍 This channel has THE BEST advice! ❤️

I see that Montessori book shelf behind you love it, brought back memories of my Montessori teaching days. I will be raising my kids using the Montessori Method.

[@nyealife5065]

Keep playing interactive games with a baby is beneficial. I am doing it with my baby girl, it works, sometimes she gets the right response.

[@karinavigdel]

Love this! Been watching so many of your videos about Montessori lately and I love the playlist with activities for the different ages. Hoping to implement your teachings when we get children in the future 🥰 Extra funny when you got to the Norwegian saying "det finnes ikke dårlig vær, bare dårlige klær" (there's no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing) as I am from Norway and believe it is the first time I've heard the saying in English 😄

[@alexeloriaga8285]

I stumbled across the mirror thing when I was babysitting my younger cousin. She didn't sleep through the night yet so when she would cry for a bottle I was at my wits end with how to get her to stop crying while I got a bottle. I noticed that she was interested in a mirror when I walked her by in and my young teen mine struck gold. It made that week so much more manageable. I'm glad that it may have helped her as much as it helped me!

[@FlaMarriotts]

Racking my brain on what to do with my suddenly aware 4 month old and found this fantastic video!

I’ve been looking for ways to entertain my 4 month old because he’s getting bored with his high contrast cards and play gym. Thank you for linking all the fun toys in this video!

[@seekjesusandhisrighteousne8894]

Thank you for the toy recommendations! I followed your link and ordered most of the toys suggested for 3-6 months, unfortunately the textured spinning drum isn’t available right now, but most everything else was! Thank you for your suggestions! John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son for whosoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

[@karacole2304]

I find this age to be so hard! They aren’t really ready to sit unassisted so activity centers don’t make a whole lot of sense, neither are they newborns and so easily entertained anymore. Thank you for these ideas!!

I am a nanny,I worked with so many family,I must say that most of the parents do one thing and that is taking them outside,because that is so easy ,But they don't give attention to their kids.They provide toys but din't help them to explore .They make their kids spoil by holding them all the time and then the babies dont want to play on the floor.They just want some one to be holding them all the time.

Omg she’s so precious!! Currently awaiting my baby girl’s arrival. Her “due date” was yesterday. I was wondering, how old is she as she is doing tummy time? She’s holding her head up so well!!

[@xNinjaBunniex37]

I found your videos just a few days ago and I am in love and they have been helping me out so much! The first few months with my newborn I was definitely in "survival mode" as she was very fussy and colicky (also my first baby) and now that we have come out of that haze I've been doing a lot of research on parenting philosophys and age appropriate play and your videos have been the most informative and pleasing to watch I'm excited to watch and learn more! Being a first time mom is so hard and I can say you are making it at least a little easier for me!

[@berrypatch5583]

I love the contrast cards! Such sweet tummy time activities.

[@daniellevanaschprevot478]

Hey! Your amazon store could use some updating as some of the links are broken and I wanted to support you. I found your video last night and my husband and I watched them for about an hour.

Have you heard about Cubetto? It’s for kids aged 3 and up and it’s a fully montessori approved way of learning how to code. I’m a digital designer myself and I’ve been looking for ways to include more logical games and puzzles into the activities, which turned out to be harder than I thought. Just wanted to share as I was pretty excited to find out about it!

[@1KITIG]

I’m really influenced by your videos with handling my pet bird (an African Grey Parrot), parrots has the practical intelligence of a young child and the emotional intelligence of a toddler, they need a lot of stimulation throughout the day and they need to feel included in the “flock”, making him do stuff that I know he can do without help like closing the doors of the cage, doing “human” stuff like cleaning his face by himself with a napkin (he doesn’t really need a napkin for that but it makes him feel included LOL) and just feeling like an independent“flock” member that can do stuff by himself and prepare things by himself made a huge change in our dynamic . I really want to get him some Montessori baby and toddler toys, because I feel like it could really benefit his cognitive and intellectual abilities. where can I find them for pretty chip but in good quality? they could make a really good foot toys for him. thanks!!!

[@sbcd7808]

That's really adorable

[@tgrey4827]

I loved reading this so much thank you for taking the time to share, hope you found some good Montessori toys!

[@OmniaSubSol]

I LOVE that!!! I'm a bird lover myself and I have a 4 month old baby. I was hoping to have a bird already during the pregnancy and get it potty trained and hand tamed and then use the model/rival technique to help teach both the baby and bird to talk together, and later to read & write. Unfortunately for that plan, several cats and dogs found me after my only bird passed away and they begged for my help, I couldn't turn them away. I love them to death but I REALLY miss having birds flying around my house lol

Mine too. Plz share ur xperience that how do u manage ur time for household coarse because i find it very dificult to leave my 3 month old kid unatended during play.

[@joycekim7092]

@@ummehaadi2282 Hi Rabiya! I agree that it is difficult to do chores while a 3 month old is playing by him/herself. I usually put the baby nearby or at least where I can see him while I do chores. Another way I still interact with the baby while doing chores, is talking to the baby from afar and letting the baby know what I am doing. Also, the chores I know that will take longer, like washing the dishes or preparing dinner, I do when the baby is asleep. I hope this help!

This is my 6th or 7th time watching this video, My older sister did some Montessori with her now 8 year old when he was a toddler n I’ve never really paid that much attention. I now have a 5, 3 and now a 2month old and since I’ve discovered your videos online a few months ago I’ve watching a lot of your videos and have really been listening attentively to what you have to say. I also have made a diy octahedron mobile, the gobbi mobile, order the Montessori toddler book(which is an amazing book), and more. You are an AMAZING mother and I am so happy to have come across your videos that have helped me with teaching my own children. Thank you so much and keep the videos coming!

[@gabrielleallen7329]

Great advice. Thank you for adding meaningful content to You Tube

[@laartje24]

13:00 There is actually some research out there that language development in babies already starts when they are still in your belly. And they already learn to recognize the voices of their parent(s). So you could already read, sing or tell little rhymes to them while they are still in your belly. Isn't that like super cool.

[@ahhwe-any7434]

My munchkin loves when I read books to her. Especially stories about baby ones w/ lots of pics of babies. Being kissed on & hovered over. It's like :/ so that's how I physically look from her pov. She coos when I read

[@ileanadumitrescu232]

Dear Ashley, greetings from Germany! The idea that you should read your baby or toddler books with a true content is new to me!

It is already well known that Music appears to accelerate brain development in young children, particularly in the areas of the brain responsible for processing sound, language development, speech perception and reading skills. My wife and I found that if we make music with our son he really enjoys it and we can bond in a unique way to make the best out of his childhood and also help to develop the brain in a fun way. Do any of you also experiment with this? If so, what are your experiences? Do you have background music on during playtime? What would you like your children to hear and see? Recently I started a kids music channel named Songs For Cool Kids, where I would like to help others experiment with music. I am very keen to hear from other parents. Thanks in advance. Hope you have a great day.
