Free Montessori Printables
Our activity sheets explain a hands-on skill and call for materials. These printables give them to you. You print, you cut, and your child handles real objects they move with their own hands.
None of these printables is a worksheet to fill in with a pencil. In Montessori pedagogy, a child doesn't wait for an adult to correct a page: they move the material, and they see for themselves when something isn't right. That's called the control of error, and every guide tells you where to find it.
The Printable Movable Alphabet
The letters to cut out that your child moves to spell a word, long before they can write it with a pencil.
Printable Numbers and Quantities
Ten digits on one side, ten quantities on the other, to be matched. The dots come in pairs, so odd and even are easy to see.
The Cutting Strips
Sixteen strips ordered from a straight line to a corner, to learn scissors without ever needing to finish a picture.
Your Child's Weekly Planner
The seven-day strip and everyday pictures, to answer "when is it?" with something other than words.
Printable Emotion Cards
Eight faces and eight words to cut out, so your child can name what they feel before they can explain it.
Pin-Punching Shapes
Twelve outlines made of dots: your child punches each dot with a push pin, and the shape comes free on its own.
The Geometric Shapes
Six figures in three sets, from the solid shape to the plain outline: your child stacks, sorts, then names them.
How to use it
- Print on Letter paper, and use heavy cardstock when a sheet cuts into small pieces.
- Cut it out yourself: precise cutting isn't the activity, it's the setup.
- Bring out only the part of the material you need at a time, the part your child is about to use.
- Put it away together at the end. Putting away is part of the cycle, not the chore that follows it.
What's next?
