Montessori friendly books for Winter
Nov 23, 2020 - Books , Christmas - By Carine Robin
As I don't want to display my Christmas books just yet, I have pulled out our collection of winter books.
I am seriously missing my playgroup and the joy of rotating seasonal activities. Hence, this post to inspire you instead of me, displaying my collection in my group.
Montessori Friendly Winter books:
The ones I have:
Winter
A beautiful wordless book, part of collection of 4 (about the seasons of course)
The hat
and
The Mitten
Both have a similar plots, the child lost a hat or a mitten and the animals take refuge in it. If you have a hat or an oversize mitten, you can combine with animals figurines.
The shortest day
The beginning of winter is marked by the solstice, the shortest day of the year. Long ago, people grew afraid when each day had fewer hours of sunshine than the day before. Over time, they realized that one day each year the sun started moving toward them again. In lyrical prose and cozy illustrations, this book explains what the winter solstice is and how it has been observed by various cultures throughout history. Many contemporary holiday traditions were borrowed from ancient solstice celebrations

Snowflake Bentley
From the time he was a small boy, Wilson Bentley saw snowflakes as small miracles. And he determined that one day his camera would capture for others the wonder of the tiny crystal. Bentley's enthusiasm for photographing snowflakes was often misunderstood in his time, but his patience and determination revealed two important truths: no two snowflakes are alike; and each one is startlingly beautiful. His story is gracefully told and brought to life in lovely woodcuts, giving children insight into a soul who had not only a scientist's vision and perseverance but a clear passion for the wonders of nature.

Over and under
Over the snow, the world is hushed and white. But under the snow lies a secret world of squirrels and snow hares, bears and bullfrogs, and many other animals making their winter home under the snow. This beloved nonfiction picture book exploring the subnivean zone reveals the tunnels and caves formed beneath the snow but over the ground, where many kinds of animals live through the winter, safe and warm, awake and busy, but hidden beneath the snow.
