Montessori Magic Friday: 3-Part Cards~Children and Music Go Together!

Here I have curated articles, videos, and resources (most are free!) to give you and your group some fun activities for your Montessori Music Curriculum!

1. Set up the 3-Part cards (see below) and place them on your Montessori Music Shelf. First, download my free resource, "Children and Music Go Together." (at the end of this post). Then, copy the templates onto heavy card stock. Laminate everything and place it all on a 3-part card tray. You can also set up little baskets with each of the card parts and place these all on a tray.
