I had Ben build a shelf for our blocks and Montessori items. Something simple and open for easy visibility and accessibility. I've collected these over the past several months and have been waiting for a place to display them all.
For those unfamiliar with the Montessori method, here is a great video clip showcasing a day in the life of a 4 year old Montessori student. Also, this video is awesome as well.
We are nowhere near the level of a functioning Montessori school but I am really excited to incorporate this method into our homeschool, (which happens to include one toddler, one 3 year old, as well as one "kindergartener").

The top shelf is mostly math items: scale, abacus, numbers with counters and sand paper letters 1-10. There is also a solar powered cash register from Ikea that is a basic calculator.
The middle shelf has some language items: a big box of moveable letters, boxes of capital and lowercase sandpaper letters and a stack of double sandpaper letters.
I put a variety of blocks on the bottom shelf for easy access to all.
The abacus proved a popular item.
Here are the moving letters in action.
Vowels are blue, Consonants are red.
