It’s Montessori Monday! Can you believe it’ll be the 4th of July soon?! Fortunately, there are lots of awesome Montessori-inspired 4th of July printables and activities available online. If you don’t live in the U.S., you can adapt many of the activities for your own country’s celebrations.
I’ve previously published a number of posts with 4th of July activities: Child-Led Patriotism, Montessori-Inspired Fun with Golf Balls and Ping Pong Balls, and Montessori-Inspired Patriotic Unit. Today, I want to share some 4th of July activities published since my post last year.
I’ll add printables from a number of different posts to make things easier, but the activities will be in separate posts according to when they were published. Be sure to check out my previous posts for some great 4th of July activities. I’ll be adding to this post throughout the month.

Deb, it looks like you are in the top 25! Hurray! I really like this post. Do you have some information on 3 part cards, those look so interesting to me but I’m not sure if I understand it fully. Such nice activities! First graders would use the pencil sharpening one for hours, alone! Carolyn
