If you have a family member, friend, or neighbor who homeschools and you’re struggling with coming up with gift ideas, how about something that will benefit their homeschool journey? You could ask if they’re in need of any supplies, have a particular Montessori material on their wish list, or what they’ll be studying the next year (you could find books or materials, like Safari Toobs, to aid their studies).
You’ll find affiliate links in each gift guide, which means if you make a purchase through the link Our Montessori Home will receive a small commission. You’ll be helping support our site and its future endeavors and our homeschooling journey. We appreciate you!
Merry Christmas!
