Whistling about our work! 🎉 Check out all the making we did in our Summer Cook Book camp! Each child brought home a personal handmade cook book inspired by the recipes and art we did. All were different! None were the same! 🫶They were gorgeous, and we had such a blast together 🫧

Picnic Spread and Collage Piece all created by the children in a Primary Montessori Environment (3-6 year olds). Even the cream was whipped by a hand-cranked be**er! Montessori reminds us, "Help children do it themselves." And these children have shown how much they really can do on their own!
