It’ll be Father’s Day soon! Again this year, there are lots of great Father’s Day ideas available online! Today, I’ll share my previously published Father’s Day posts along with some new ideas since my last Father’s Day post.
You’ll notice that a number of Montessori schools have Father’s Day breakfasts and activities that involve the children serving meals or desserts to their fathers. This would be a great week to review grace and courtesy if you’d like your child to serve breakfast or another meal to his or her father.
Here’s my post on “How to Teach Your Preschooler Manners Using Montessori Principles.” “Grace and Courtesy Games at Home or School” also has ideas for teaching many types of manners. And here’s a post with lots of ideas for helping your child work on food-preparation skills: “Montessori-Inspired Food Preparation for Preschoolers.”
Montessori-Inspired Ideas for Father’s Day
Montessori-Inspired Card-Making Tray
Last year, I had a “Montessori-Inspired Father’s Day” post with ideas such as the Montessori-inspired card-making materials my children used to enjoy.
Last week, I had a post on “Talking with Children about Death: Creating an ‘I Remember’ Book” for children who’ve experienced the death of a special male relative. It includes suggestions for helping children cope with death and a free printable for an “I Remember” book about any special relative or pet who died. There are also free printables for an “I Miss You” book and an “I Love You” book for military families and other families separated by distance on Father’s Day (or any day).
Whether you’re at home or have a school, you could always do a variation of a Father’s Day breakfast to honor a special dad or dads and give extra practice in grace and courtesy for your child or students.
Montessori Way has “Father’s Day Games” with dessert served by the child.

Wow! My littlest has just started local Montessori and my eldest went. It’s simply wonderful. I’m really rubbish at the art and craft side but I’ll read and support anything you’ve got. Thank you so much for highlighting this and I hope to add something sooner or later.

Thanks for featuring my post on facebook! By the way, I just visited your other blog and was so excited to read that your daughter went to Sheffield Hallam Uni…I went there too! Did my Masters there…isn’t the city a beautiful place? : )
My pleasure, Nabiha! I went to Sheffield Hallam Uni, too! That’s where I got my master’s degree in Early Childhood Studies. Since my daughter started living in England at age 16, I lived with her for the first year and a half until she was old enough to live on her own there. So I worked toward my degree at that time. The city is beautiful … and I have so many great memories from my master’s program! 🙂
