&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;If You Give a Pig a Pancake &lt;/em&gt;by Laura Numeroff, is a fun and playful children’s story with incredible illustrations by Felicia Bond. This storytelling set allows teachers and teacher candidates of SK – Grade 2 to create a fun and engaging story time experience.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;If You Give a Pig a Pancake: Storytelling Set &lt;/em&gt;includes an adorable hand puppet piglet, a felt board, and 14 cloth props that represent the pig’s myriad of elaborate requests. The book can be read aloud to kindergarten and elementary school students as they will enjoy following along and spotting the objects mentioned in the humorous quick pace storyline Numeroff has written.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;If You Give a Pig a Pancake: Storytelling Set &lt;/em&gt;can be used to teach kindergarten and elementary students an introductory cause and effect lesson. Teachers and teacher candidates can use this storytelling kit to help students understand the effects of various events and actions so they can have better understanding of the consequences of actions. The story uses a circular story format, presenting to the reader a chain of events which the reader discovers that the characters end up in the same scenario that they began with.&lt;/p&gt;</text>

&lt;p&gt;The ability to read musical notes on a staff is best taught in a hands-on manner. The Hand Bells kit contains eight colourful bells, with each bell representing a note from A to G. There are two bells for the letter C. Additionally, this kit contains 4 simple songs to play: Frere Jacques, London Bridge, Mary Had a Little Lamb, and Twinkle Twinkle. Students will learn to read notes on a staff and to use the corresponding bell to play the song. The colour coding of the bells allows students to have visual cues to assist with reading the notes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This activity kit is recommended for students 3+ or students that are just starting to learn how to read sheet music.&lt;/p&gt;</text>

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Dr. Montessori analyzed the movements that are connected with writing and developed The Metal Insets for directly preparing the child for handwriting. Use of this material strengthens the three-finder drop and coordinates the necessary wrist movements. The exercises also advance proficiency in lightness of touch and evenness of pressure through drawing activities. The Metal Insets invite unlimited geometric design possibilities.--Publisher's catalogue.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="https://librarysearch.library.utoronto.ca/permalink/01UTORONTO_INST/14bjeso/alma991106647351706196" title="View item in the U of T Libraries catalogue"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</text>

&lt;p&gt;Everyone is an inventor with the Makey Makey kit. Two graduate students from the MIT Media Lab created this easy to use invention kit that is recommended for anyone ages 8 and up. The kit can transform everyday objects into touch pads that send keyboard and mouse messages to the computer. The kit includes a human interface device (HID) circuit board and a USB cable to connect the board to a computer. The computer will register the circuit board as a keyboard or mouse. The front of the board has a space bar, click, and arrow keys, while the back of the board features additional keyboard keys and support for a mouse. Attach alligator clips to any object that can conduct electricity, for example, a lemon, pencil, coin, and more. The connected object can then be used as a touch pad. Up to 6 objects can be connected to the board, so that keyboard messages can be sent to programs and web pages.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Makey Makey encourages us to explore new ways to interface with computers, beyond the keyboard and mouse. This kit can be used to support educators with teaching about human centered design, engineering, arts, and other subjects.&lt;/p&gt;</text>

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;The Leaf Cards aid the child in moving from the concrete representations of leaf shapes to abstraction. There are three series of 18 cards that correspond to the leaf shapes contained within the Botany Cabinet. In the first series, the forms are filled in (solid), the second series has a thick outline of each shape, and the third series has a thin outline of each shape.--Publisher's catalogue.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</text>

&lt;p&gt;This activity kit encourages students to make classroom-to-world connections through matching the shapes provided in the cabinet with the shapes of leaves they locate outside. Learning doesn’t end in the classroom – nature is an excellent tool for discovery! While this activity kit is designed for the Montessori classroom, it can easily be incorporated into any classroom as children are given the opportunity not only to seek out information outdoors, but to cultivate a sense of independence and curiosity.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Spending time in nature provides young children (and adults!) with a grounded feeling and an appreciation for their surroundings. The botany cabinet nurtures and encourages the child to explore their surroundings to locate and identify different leaves. This tactile kit fortifies the child’s ability to recognize the leaf shapes through tracing. The puzzle pieces are made of natural material (wood), introducing the value of environmental consciousness within the child – an additional benefit to incorporating this tool into a child’s shape recognition. Children are witnessing many environmental changes – providing children opportunities to take their learning outdoors, seeking out information through exploring, and using learning resources that are kind to the environment helps to instill the value of environmental stewardship within children of all ages.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Combine this manipulative with the &lt;a href="https://omekaoise.library.utoronto.ca/items/show/905"&gt;botany cards&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="https://omekaoise.library.utoronto.ca/items/show/908"&gt;leaf cards&lt;/a&gt; for even more plant-based learning!&lt;/p&gt;</text>

&lt;p&gt;This simple-looking activity kit is an excellent tool for promoting concentration and experiential learning. The Baric Tablets are a sensorial activity that can be used for children age 4 and upward. They are a Montessori-developed manipulative, but can be used anywhere! It helps create awareness of the sensory perceptions that we are constantly taking in. These tablets are made up of three separate boxes which each contain about 6-8 wooden tablets. Although all of the tablets are the same size, each box contains tablets made of different types of wood (such as pine, beech and oak) and therefore they differ in weight.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;These tablets can have multiple uses as an educational tool. They teach children how to exercise baric sense and differentiate between weights. The tablets are also useful tools to teach children how to use superlatives: heavy, light, heavier, lighter, heaviest, lightest. Finally, they also teach children to be mindful and observant about their environments.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Typically, the baric tablet is used by the teacher showing the student how to hold their hands (slightly above the table, palm up) and placing the light tablet one hand and the heavier tablet on the other hand—the student is then asked which tablet is heavier. This continues as the teacher continues to place different light and heavy tablets on the palms of the student. As the activity continues the student is also encouraged to wear a blindfold so they won’t be able to tell the weights by the colour. Soon the student should be able to mix the tablets and sort the weighted tablets on their own. Once they have mastered the heaviest and lightest weights, the teacher can then introduce the medium weight tablets to finely develop the student’s baric sense.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are &lt;a href="http://www.montessoriworld.org/sensory/sbrictab.html"&gt;plenty of exercises&lt;/a&gt; that one can do with the baric tablets: such as ordering all of the tablets, and placing them back into their piles in the boxes, and playing with different combinations. These tablets are useful to build up to more complex math activities, and can also be a meditative tool to emphasize observation skills as well as focus.&lt;/p&gt;</text>
