Montessori Print Shop Giveaway!!

~This giveaway is now CLOSED~

I am SO excited about this giveaway - one of you is going to win something truly amazing!

The lovely Jennifer, owner of Montessori Print Shop, is generously gifting one of my readers a deluxe CD-Rom collection! Eeek! We're talking about a wealth of resources valued at $580!

Seriously, you will not believe just how much is packed onto these two discs. It is nothing short of a complete curriculum with loads of materials covering a wide range of subjects:
Incredible, right?! There are over 950 files on these discs - far too many for me to detail, but here's a sample of what you'll get...

Language cards, everything you need for the pink/blue/green series AND tons of cards in French and Hebrew, plus MUCH more.

Lots of materials and extensions for your sensorial shelves.

A huge geography pack including maps, land and water forms, and tons of cards for your continent boxes.

Math, math and more math - everything from time cards to seasonal counting cards to the entire geometry cabinet!

Additionally, Jennifer has also created some really fun and unique files, such as:
Cookware Classification Cards
Recycling Matters Card Set
Medieval Knights Picture Cards
Animal Tracks Matching Cards
Pin Punching Cards

AND, as if all that weren't enough, included on the discs are FOUR fantastic Montessori teaching manuals as well several other teacher resource files! These are perfect for those of you who can't/don't want to pay for online training courses, but still want to know more about how to create and present lessons.

Want to know the *best* things about these discs? You'll be using them for years! There are materials appropriate for toddlers, preschoolers, and grade school children!

Phew! Can you tell I'm excited?!

Finally just a quick word about quality... it's clear a lot of time and thought went into creating these materials. For example, the images used - one thing I'm really picky about when it comes to the printables we use in our classroom is the type of images used on the printable. I very much prefer real life photos to drawings or cartoons and I was thrilled to see Jennifer has taken the time to hunt down real and beautiful photos for her cards. Thanks, Jennifer!

Ok, so here's how you can enter to win:

Mandatory entry:

1. Leave a comment on this post and let me know which of these materials would be most useful to you.

Extra entries:
2. Like Counting Coconuts on Facebook and leave me a separate comment on this post letting me know you have/already do.
3. Like Montessori Print Shop on Facebook and leave me a separate comment on this post letting me know you have/already do.
4. Follow Counting Coconuts and leave me a separate comment on this post letting me know you have/already do.
5. After today come back and leave me one comment per day on this post until the end of the giveaway.

*NOTE re: separate comments - each entry will be counted as a chance to win. If you put all of your entry requirements into just ONE comment, you'll only have ONE chance to win.

Montessori Print Shop is willing to ship (for free!) this 2-disc set to anyone, anywhere in the world!! This giveaway will end on Friday, April 8th at 9pm Atlantic Time.

Good luck, everyone!!

Oh this would help me soooo much with my twin toddlers! I think the language cards would be most beneficial to us right now, as they have speech delays and we are working on learning as many words as possible right now, but oh wow, this set would really be wondergul to win! Thanks!

Wow! What a great giveaway! I think actually the teaching manuals would be the most useful to me at first because I don't have much experience with presenting Montessori materials. the other materials are great too and would probably use most of them at some point with the kids.

Corrie said...

uh...you want us to CHOOSE which would be most useful! How can we do that? It all looks great. I guess if I had to pick, I would say the manual. I've wanted to become Montessori trained since I learned about it, but having a family has prevented me from traveling for the training. I love so many of the ideas that I've read about. I would love something a little more formal, you know? :o) That said, I think everything in those CDs is awesome!

Hi Mari-Ann, I am so happy you are running this giveaway. It is EXACTLY what I need for my little 4 almost 5 yr daughter.

Such a great giveaway! At the moment the most useful products for us would be the language and sensorial items but as my children get older we would branch out into the others.

A. said...

All of the materials look like they would be beyond awesome to make/have/use/enjoy/love/learn with... But I think I am loving the Geography the most... Such beautiful pictures! I love that they can be used for a long time to come.

Mandy Jane said...

I think the geography materials would be most helpful!

I didn't get to post yesterday so I hope this can count as my yesterday post/chance to enter...
I am doing a small homeschool preschool with my twins, just started recently and this set would really be a great way for us to get more involved with learning. Right now it's kind of scattered, lots of fun and not really structured or anything. This set would be a great way for me to better learn how to teach them, especially as they get older and want to learn more. I don't think we could afford this set right now with me staying at home, so I'm really really hoping to win it! :-) <3. Thanks again for the opportunity!

Hi there ~ What a wonderful site you have and I'm so excited to look over your site and that of Montessori Print Shop. As busy individuals, we all need extra "help" from time to time. thanks for all you do! Have a great day and I hope the sun is shining where you are today.

Kara said...

I would love these materials to help step up my teaching to my preschooler. She is really beyond the basics of letters and numbers and needs to push into more thinking/learning about why things are the way they are or how things change. THe science pages look perfect!! I really want to win!!

Kara said...

I also "follow" your blog. Love it. Definitely inspires me and my teaching.

Laura said...

Hello! I appreciate all the insightful information that I receive on your blog. This is BY FAR the best I've seen. The Geography and Math would be the most helpful as we struggle with this area with the children.

Sarah said...

What a fabulous post! Your materials are lovely. I can only say that James must be getting a really fantastic education! I am going to forward this site to my friends in preprimary Montessori classrooms because I KNOW they will be excited to see your materials. I am currently teaching in a 9-12 classroom and have already purchased several of the materials available separately from Montessori Print Shop, but would LOVE to have more of the cultural materials, especially the geography and zoology ones. I am using several of the botany layouts in my classroom currently.

I already do language cards. I made the cards when I was teaching my oldest to read, and I have used them for each successive child.

Liberty said...

What would be most useful to me? Ummm . . . EVERYTHING! This looks so awesome! As the stay-home mother of a 2-year old, I am just getting into the world of preschool education and I am so excited to teach my little one all of this stuff. Okay, maybe I am a little extra excited about the math and science materials, but we would definitely use it all!

Lydia G said...

Would love to win these! I will use the math stuff for my older ones!

Holly Gomez said...

The most useful of the materials would be the Albumns. We are moving into upper elementary and Id like to get an idea of what is next.

All of the materials would be great for my 6 yr old daughter. She lived 5 years in a orphange mostly locked in a room every day. Even after a year she is so delighted by wind in her hair. She seems to learn the best with montessori materials and we have a lot of years to fill in for.

Thank you for the chance
