Why use a Montessori timeline at home?
The Montessori timeline (linear calendar) is a fabulous tool, but it is often too bulky for modern interiors. That's why we created a "mini" version: practical, discreet, and perfect for the bedroom or the living room.
What is a timeline calendar?
Unlike a classic calendar where you turn pages, the timeline is a horizontal chronological strip. It allows the child to grasp the complex concepts of past, present, and future by visualizing all the days of the year on a single line.
How to set up your chronological strip?
- Cutting: Cut out the rectangles from the PDF file.
- Assembly: Glue or tape them together to form the timeline.
- Mounting: Use poster putty (Patafix) to install it at your child's height.
- Ritual: Stick the corresponding label each day so the child can take ownership of the passing time.
We have included labels for **solstices, equinoxes, holidays, and birthdays**. Your child can also make their own markers for the events that matter most to them.
Complete the learning of time
The timeline manages the year, but how do you manage the day? Our My Little Day routine clocks are the ideal complement to help the child find their way through their daily activities.

If you like Montessori pedagogy, we highly recommend the book "Le temps qui passe" from the Balthazar collection. It is a perfect addition to our tool to deepen the concept of cycles.
