The author gives instructions for making many of the Montessori materials at home, with common household items or easy-to-obtain craft supplies. Throughout the book she offers suggestions for alternatives to materials which are typically used in a Montessori classroom. Let the comments of one satisfied reader speak for themselves: “The methods really worked! My children are now ages 25 and 28. In the late 60's I purchased this book and made all the materials to teach the children from infancy. Both children could read phonetically by age 3, both attended Montessori schools from age 3 to 6, both were Merit Scholars and both still love to learn. I am purchasing an updated copy for my daughter to use for her first child."
