It's been awhile since I've shared the Montessori "work" that I have on Nora's shelves. These works are rotated through our shelves a few at a time. They stay with some of the Montessori-friendly toys that we have for her on the shelves. Here is a look at some of her Montessori work from 12 to 14 months.

And that's it! There's usually 2-4 of these out at one time, depending what else is on our shelves. I rotate as Nora loses interest in what's on the shelves, or if I notice that she is gravitating toward a specific skill.
