    Beach Wine Bottle Decor

    April 24, 2021 / 4 Comments

    I was so excited to get into my creative side a few days ago and make these adorable beach-themed wine bottle decorations. They are so cute and super easy to make.

The real Montessori way of thinking is FREEDOM within LIMITS. This has been a constant topic in our class discussions lately as the students learn what they can control in the classroom with their choices and actions. It is a conversation that can easily be had in the home too! I am currently a Montessori Lower Elementary…
