About Renee- by Ivy Li
First impression,
Five years ago, when I took my youngest child to the parent-child space, I often saw a stylish girl with a laptop working while taking care of her child in the parent-child space. It turns out that she was working hard to fulfill her dream of design while also accompanying her child to grow up in the Montessori environment!
In recent years, Renee has extended her expertise to early childhood education, teaching children to appreciate art, understand art, and create art hands-on. Under her guidance, children can fulfill their wishes! Some children learn to use a sewing machine for the first time, some sew with a needle for the first time, and some even design dolls or their own clothes! It’s so fulfilling and creative!
I value the cultivation of children’s handicraft abilities and believe that art is one of the essential literacies for children today. By naturally allowing this ability to develop from an early age, adults also learn to appreciate children’s creations with the right attitude. I think this is why we prioritize art in the COH 3-6 family space!
When children’s creations are not yet limited or influenced by mainstream trends, it is urgent that we encourage and guide them correctly. So I am very much looking forward to the upcoming periods and content of COH 3-6!

About me- by Renee
When my daughter was 5 months and 22 days old, I brought her to her first Montessori parent-child class. Now, she’s in the third grade, and we still can’t leave Montessori behind. Respecting children’s decisions and understanding the importance of sensitive periods in their development are valuable lessons I’ve learned. I’ve realized how crucial “hands-on” activities are for a child’s future development.
Five years ago, I started a studio at Ivy’s House parent-child space, specializing in making custom-designed girls’ clothing. Some familiar parents, intrigued by sewing, invited me to teach their children. This marked the beginning of my journey in teaching handicrafts. From fabric accessories to knitting, felting, dyeing, and printing, I introduced children to various tools and helped them create their own designs.
Handicrafts not only result in finished products but also provide training for fine motor skills, foster concentration, and cultivate aesthetic sensibilities. Beyond that, I hope these activities enrich their souls.
Looking forward to meeting you all!

Frequently Asked Questions

The main age group for art and handicraft activities is from 3 years old to the third grade of elementary school. (Older siblings who want to join are also very welcome!)
Art and handicraft activities include painting with colors, coloring with markers, cutting and pasting, and weaving.
For the first scenario, where only one child is enrolled in the activity and the other is under three years old, it’s manageable for one adult to accompany the enrolled child.
For the second scenario, where both children are enrolled and the older one is stable enough to complete the activity independently (recommended for elementary school-aged children) and the younger one is over three years old, it’s also possible for one adult to accompany both children. However, it’s important to note that the level of assistance each child needs may vary due to the differing difficulty levels of the activities. If possible, focusing on one child at a time during the class is ideal. It’s not recommended to have one adult accompany two children actively participating in the activity. However, if the second parent only wishes to observe or record, they are welcome to do so as long as there are available seats.
- 1In art and handicraft activities, parents play a supportive role by assisting their children when their ability to use tools and materials is insufficient. In terms of creativity (such as color and shape), parents should try to respect their children’s ideas and approaches, and collaborate with them to create unique artworks!
- Providing too much help can make children feel bored and unable to focus on creating their artworks. However, completely letting go may lead to frustration and a lack of interest in continuing. Parents can discuss with the teacher how to assist their children effectively.
- It’s advisable to wear clothes that can get dirty or bring painting smocks to the activity to minimize messiness.
