[@ThisFamilyThing]

Aww that's so awesome to hear. Honestly I've always been so rubbish at making my own playdough so would welcome a fool proof recipe 🤣 Thanks for all the kind words and so pleased my video has been helpful. You are a childminder too? If there is anything particular you would like me to do a video on then recommendations are always welcome. Xxx

I stole your ideas yesterday and my 20 month old mindee loved it( for it at least 10 mins anyway) 😃👍would love a dilf video and more activities for young toddlers? 😃have a good day x

Hi I'm up early watching your videos ...can you explain what Montessori is?

[@ThisFamilyThing]

Hiya! Thanks for watching. Montessori is a method of learning from the late Dr Maria Montessori in the 1800- 1900's. The child is in charge of their own learning supported by the adult. It's a hands on approach developing the whole child. Focusing on independence and teaching the child to be self sufficient and self directed in their every day. Just to give you a short snippet. My next video I am posting will be sharing my favourite learning resources for this approach and other aspects of what we love like nature play, open ended learning and child led play, this will include my favourite books, podcasts, vlogs and blogs etc so you can learn more. K xx

[@ThisFamilyThing]

Thank you Emily. The table is called flisat and comes from IKEA. It's great and has two buckets one on each side. Thanks for watching. X

[@hannahlouise3279]

Have you got any book recommendations? We are TTC next year but I'm trying to prepare! I've read some rie books but am wondering if you have any books that you would recommend?

[@ThisFamilyThing]

Hi Hannah. Do you mean children's books or books I would recommend about Montessori and similar approach? Definitely have both. 👍 X

[@hannahlouise3279]

@@ThisFamilyThing Sorry I should have made my question a bit clearer! About Montessori parenting 🙂

[@ThisFamilyThing]

@@hannahlouise3279 ah no problem. Yes I have sooo many great resources. I'm actually going to do a video on it next so look out for it! But in the meantime I would definitely recommend 'the Montessori toddler'. Thanks for watching Hannah xx
