I fell in love with toobs since first discovering them about a year ago. They are so handy and can be used to really bring activities to life. The girls love to work with them and they can be used in so many different ways. We decided to start stocking a small selection a couple of months ago and have been amazed with their popularity and we have gradually been expanding our collection and bringing in some that have been specially requested by our customers. Personally though I don't have as much time or expertise as I would like in order to help me make the most of the toobs but there are some really amazing bloggers out there who have created some wonderful montessori activities to go with the toobs and many of them are giving printable activities away for free too. So I have decided to list some below so you can all get some ideas for your continent boxes (and also so that I can come back later and find these activities again when I'm making our boxes - so far we only have a Europe box, we'll be working on the rest soon.)
