Op shop Montessori bargains

Purchasing Montessori materials can be expensive if you shop at Montessori stores and sites, but if you keep an eye out you can find similar items at markets and op shops.  Here is my haul from a local op shop last weekend that cost a total of $14 (and that included some shorts and a tshirt for Geekling also!).



I plan to use the metal trays to present tasks and activities, the scoop, funnel and seive in sensory tubs, the ceramic jugs for pouring activities and the egg cups are for our weekend breakfasts but may paint or polish the two unfinished ones.

    How did I know that the first comment on an op shop post would be from you? :)

    Geekling has a kids kitchen set I bought reduced to clear from a book shop of all places (Angus & Robertson closing down sale) that has a measuring jug, silicon patty pan liners, a mini whisk, small metal tongs, small metal seive, mini rolling pin and a bunch of cookie cutters. It was a score :)

    I see you have thrift shops in Australia as well! I've was able to pick my son Logan up many of our Montessori materials at the thrift shops too! Love Them!
