Task Cards & Extension Activities
Task cards are a set of sequential activities that can be explored independently in the outdoor prepared learning environment.
Extension activities allow children to take a known idea, concept or material and explore it in a new way. The extension activities highlighted allow children to make connections with lessons they have been presented in a Montessori classroom (6-9 years) and make new discoveries outdoors.
