We have converted a bookshelf (conveniently located behind a baby gate where Mak can get to it, but Mae can't .. yet) to a Montessori shelf. Lots of Mak's toys have elements of Montessori tools, but these resources are set up a little more intentionally.
At this point, I'm only organized enough that we have consistent dedicated time to work with these tools 1-2 hours/wk ... but Mak loves them so much that he brings a tray to his table and works on them on his own some almost every day.
