Our Montessori and respectful parenting journey at home and on the way.

This guide provides 12 visual recipes designed especially for toddlers (well tested by my toddler) and written recipes for the grown-up. Recipes include no added sugar cookies, smoothies, guacamole, playdough, caramelized fruit, and more. It also includes over 150 ingredients, materials, and actions involved in cooking, a blank recipe template, and a visual shopping list. The ingredients, materials, and actions are Montessori-aligned using real photos. These can be used for language work and matching as well. This is a digital download.
