As a homeschooler on a seriously tight budget, I completely understand the need to stretch our budget as far as it will go. I have been homeschooling for four years now and starting to pull together many resources that provide free Montessori Materials. Below is a list of the ones I know of at present. More will be added as I find them. If you have Montessori materials you are sharing (or know of a site that is not on the list), please either leave a comment or email me! I hope these are a blessing to you as much as they were a blessing to us!

oh goodness !! this is really a long list. Who say we cannot homeschool kids montessori way! Thank you so much for compiling this list, it is really really helpful. Thank you for sharing.

You are welcome Evenlyn! I know, it’s hard to believe I can keep finding this many each month!! Just shows the generosity and love of the families and teachers that are Montessori. They want to help children grow and learn and are willing to share their creations to help us make it happen! That’s A real community!

Awesome List! Am I missing The Helpful Garden? She has amazing free resources, too.
Also, your picture shows grammar symbols. Are THOSE a free template somewhere?? Thanks!
Live & Learn Farm says
Hey Amanda! Thank you for stopping by and commenting and giving encouragement! The Helpful Garden is on there …. I love their printables! No, the cards that are associated with the symbols are in the list though 🙂
Maria says
