Montessori Posters



THE SECRET OF A HAPPY LIFE IS CONGENIAL WORK. WORK IS PURPOSEFUL ACTIVITY. MAN IS THE FOREMOST WORKER IN CREATION. MANS WORK HAS CHANGED THE FACE OF THE EARTH. - Maria Montessori.





HUMAN CONSCIOUSNESS COMES INTO THE WORLD AS A FLAMING BALL OF IMAGINATION. EVERYTHING INVENTED BY MAN, PHYSICAL OR MENTAL, IS THE FRUIT OF SOMEONE'S IMAGINATION. THE SECRET TO GOOD TEACHING IS TO REGARD THE CHILD'S INTELLIGENCE AS A FERTILE FIELD IN WHICH SEEDS MAY BE SOWN TO GROW UNDER THE FLAMING HEAT OF IMAGINATION. - Maria Montessori.



Aren't these posters beautiful? I can't decide which one I love more. They are both original 1960s posters by Lucia Pearce, with quotes from Montessori educational founder Maria Montessori. I found them at here (top) and here (bottom), at the fantastic shop Three Potato Four.
