🪔 Teaching Tip from a Montessori Guide

Three-part cards are perfect for introducing world religions because they separate the image from the name, requiring children to make the connection themselves. When presenting Hindu deities, keep explanations simple and focus on attributes children understand: "Ganesha has an elephant head and removes obstacles. Lakshmi brings good fortune. Durga is strong and brave." Avoid theological complexity—at this age, cultural exposure and respectful recognition matter more than doctrine. These cards work beautifully alongside Diwali lamp crafts, rangoli patterns, or picture books about the festival of lights.
