While the process of learning how to use the well-known Montessori 3-part cards may seem daunting to some, it doesn’t have to be!
If you can work with a Montessori environment at home instead of sending your children to a Montessori school, then it is absolutely essential that you learn how to use it correctly.
Let me take a minute to clarify something:
I have many clients in The Montessori Way Foundations Framework that have heard of 3-part cards before and how they are Montessori friendly.
They had discounted them for several reasons.
One of the reasons is that they didn’t think they were that educational or that impactful in child learning.
Another reason is that they didn’t know where to get any.
And another reason is simply that they didn’t know how to use them or to present the lesson to the child.
So, please, don’t discount them. Give them a chance and read more about it here.

Maria Montessori contended that these skills are critical for the cognitive and emotional development of children.
A set that includes three parts is known as a 3-part set, and these can be made up in any way you want.
All these cards consist of these elements:
At the bottom of the card there is a picture or image or photo, as well as names of cards (and more) (larger card)
There must be a picture card with just a picture or image (smaller card).
A card that contains nomenclature (words) only (smallest card).
