As a homeschooler on a seriously tight budget, I completely understand the need to stretch our budget as far as it will go. I have been homeschooling for four years now and starting to pull together many resources that provide free Montessori Materials. Below is a list of the ones I know of at present. More will be added as I find them. If you have Montessori materials you are sharing (or know of a site that is not on the list), please either leave a comment or email me! I hope these are a blessing to you as much as they were a blessing to us!
