My First Montessori Book of Leaf Shapes

By Mary Da Prato

Children are naturally interested in the leaves in their outdoor environment. In the Montessori Casa, or classroom for three to six year olds, students are introduced to the Botany Cabinet which contains puzzle leaf shapes to compare with nature and trace with a stylus for fine motor control. Additionally, Leaf Card Set activities strengthen identification and abstraction skills in preparation for reading and writing.

Written by AMI Diploma holder Mary Da Prato and illustrated by Genevieve DeVaney Da Prato, a Museum Art School BFA graduate, My First Montessori Book of Leaf Shapes reinforces classwork and assists parents in helping their child identify and label leaf shapes.
