🥥 Teaching Tip from a Montessori Guide

Coconut life cycles become real when paired with actual coconuts. Bring a whole coconut to show children the brown husk stage, then crack it open to reveal the white meat and coconut water inside. Tasting fresh coconut after working with the cards creates concrete memory that pictures alone cannot provide.
