It’s a lovely book that discusses emotions and ideas for using breathing exercises to help. On a wooden cookbook holder is the book Breathe with Me: Using Breath to Feel Strong, Calm, and Happy. This month, I put each set of the above cards in one of the three compartments. It’s so attractive and I love that it doesn’t take up much shelf space.

Zoey loves to color, so I replaced that activity with yoga pose coloring pages by A Whole Latte SpEd at Teachers Pay Teachers. I’ve placed both seashells I purchased for this activity (and future seashell activities) on the peace mat you see on the shelf behind Zoey. Note: This isn’t a page I keep on the shelf after it’s been used. Their journaling activities are some of my favorites. The papers I kept most often from my kids’ homeschooling are their creative writing papers. This type of activity is often memorable and something I love to read again in the future.

I love the Montessori Services rugs and rug holder! I used to use an umbrella stand something like these. If you’re wondering about the rugs and rug box I use, both the rugs and wooden rug holder are from Montessori Services. The frame can be switched from horizontal to vertical without changing the hanger, which is perfect! I’m continuing to use this art book (along with a variety of others):įor our monthly featured art print, I purchased a Li’l DAVINCI art frame that opens in the front for easily changing a free art masterpiece printable or vintage illustration to fit with the month’s theme.
