Hi Daddy and Maa,
I love exploring and learning new things. Let’s make my bedroom a place where I can do that all the time! Here’s how we can set up my room the Montessori way.
The Montessori Bed
A floor bed is perfect for me. I can get in and out by myself without your help. It makes me feel independent and grown-up, supporting my toddler independence.
Simplifying My Sleep Environment
Instead of a regular nightlight, can I have a flashlight I can turn on myself if I wake up at night? And let’s use just a fitted sheet and a small quilt. It’s easier for me to manage, which is important for my child development.
Self-Dressing Station
I want to choose my clothes, so let’s keep them in low drawers or baskets where I can reach them. A small stool will help me sit while dressing. It’s fun to do it by myself and practice my self-care skills!
Personal Grooming Area
Can we put a mirror at my level with a basket for my hairbrush? I can learn to take care of myself and feel proud, following Montessori principles.
Reading and Relaxation Area
A cozy reading nook with cushions or a small couch would be great! I can sit and look at my books whenever I want. Let’s have a low bookshelf so I can see and pick my favorite books easily. This helps with my toddler room setup.
Encouraging Responsibility
A small laundry basket will help me remember to put my dirty clothes away. I like being responsible for my things, which fosters my autonomy.
Personal and Creative Touches
It would be great to have a music player that I could use by myself. Also, I'd love it if my art and family pictures were at eye level. My room feels unique and mine because of it. A flower vase or a basket of pinecones would look even better in my room.
Mumma and Daddy, thank you for making my room a place for me to learn and grow. I can't wait to play and discover it every day!
