If you’re a parent or teacher who hasn’t had Montessori teacher training but would like to use Montessori activities, you’ll find online videos to be extremely helpful. It’s much easier to feel confident giving Montessori presentations when you’ve seen someone present a Montessori activity, even if it is on YouTube rather than in person.
There are some fabulous Montessori videos available for free online. Here are some of my favorite free Montessori video resources for lessons:
My Works Montessori is an amazing resource with lots of free lessons on YouTube.
An example: “Montessori Sensorial Lesson – Cylinder Block I”
Info Montessori has many basic Montessori lessons that show how to present traditional Montessori materials in a clear and simple manner.
An example: “Montessori – Practical Life – Preliminary Exercices – Pouring Grains”
Maria Montessori has some materials lessons along with Learning to Read in Montessori (8 very short but helpful videos). Note: These links have a line drawn through them, which all YouTube playlists do. The playlists still work, though.
An example: “Learning to Read in Montessori, Part 2”
Montessori Live has many Montessori training videos, which often include discussions of the purposes of the materials and how they’re presented.
An example: “Teacher Discussion: Presenting Montessori Geometric Solids”
Another very helpful and inspiring video resource for parents and teachers who’d like to use Montessori principles and techniques is to see Montessori in action in Montessori schools. If you’d like to see some great examples of Montessori in action, be sure to check out my Montessori Schools – Video Ideas and Inspiration category.
UPDATES:
Living Montessori Now has a Living Montessori Now YouTube channel with Montessori activities and lessons for parents!
An example: “Teach Letter Sounds to Your Child Using Montessori Principles”

Can I say thank you enough?! There are a few math lessons that I want to do with my two youngest, but have forgotten how my oldest son’s teacher presented the material. I can’t wait to explore some of these videos. Thanks for sharing at the After School Link Up.

Hello, I would like to download the videos to my laptop for non-profit use. Am an Montessori student. Can i share them in my Page mentioning the source of your videos too.
Deb Chitwood says
Thanks so much for asking. I’m sorry, but videos aren’t allowed to be downloaded from YouTube. You can definitely share videos from YouTube to your page by linking to the YouTube video (or you could link to this blog post). You’re just not allowed to download videos from YouTube and upload them to Facebook. Wishing you the best! Deb
