I'd think very specifically about the elements that you want to mirror at home.
We did sweeping/dusting as "works" for the household at this age, a 'sand tray' (actually a flat-bottomed roasting pan with about an inch of cornmeal in the bottom) with a stylus (actually a big chopstick)...
gram cubes, I think? A two-pan "beginner" balance. Painter's tape-- to lay out grids on the floor, play hopscotch indoors, etc.
A child-sized table and chairs.
Fat markers, pencils and crayons.
I got a lot of very good ideas from
Montessori At Home but I see that it is now out of print. I liked that it was flexible and oriented toward
adapting Montessori materials and pedagogy-- not so much about "reproducing" it and specifying particular materials. I also found that anything that required LOADS of time to 'prepare'-- like sandpaper letters? Fuhgeddaboutit. DD went through concepts so fast that show-teach-learn was often more like--here, get out of the way and let me show you.
I also used Peggy Kaye's pair of excellent books:
Games for Reading
Games for Math
There are a number of good books on Amazon now w.r.t using Montessori methods at home, by the way. Most get remarkably good reviews.
The Lee Hainstock book
Teaching Montessori in the Home looks like a REALLY great resource.
Looking through the table of contents, we generally did about 25-30% of the activities listed under each type of activity.
