Hibernation Unit

September 14th Malia and I met some friends down at Roxborough State Park to hike Fountain Valley Trail. The amount of bear poop on the trail was astonishing, I had never seen so much poop. I mean, it made sense, if I was eating 20,000 calories a day, well you know.

It wasn’t far down the trail that we ended up seeing two bears in a tree! It was a really neat experience, we were able to snap some pictures and videos and keep hiking. The bears were much more concerned about their snacks than us. This inspired our hibernation unit.

I put together 3 part Montessori Cards of the animals that hibernate in Colorado and I would love to share them with you!

Coming up with learning material for my daughter can take up some time! I sure love it when other mama’s share print outs that they’ve already taken the time to put together. I thought it was my time to return the favor!

Montessori 3 part cards consist of three parts.  There is a control card that includes a picture with a word label, a picture card, and a printed word label.

Lessons begin with the control card, then followed by the matching of the picture cards, and ends with the placement of label cards. There are plenty of other ways to utilize these cards with children, depending on their literacy level.

My daughter is 2.5 years old, at this time we use the control card and picture card. Recently, I made a couple 3 part cards to match a couple of the Safari Toob animal figurines.

Dogs Safari Toob and this Rottweiler figurine inspired my first set. Our sweet Rottweiler wasn’t a dog that was included in the original TOOB so we got her separately.

Nature Safari Toob inspired the second set. We see a lot of these animals in Colorado and we are learning them in our Spanish Lingua music class. So naturally, I made a copy in English and one in Spanish.

These 3 part cards are ready to go on their own without the animal figurines, but the figurines do add that bonus fun and are super worth it in my opinion!
