Montessori Inspired Cupcakes

I am almost done with my Montessori Training.  It has been almost four long weeks of training, but it has been very enjoyable.  I have absolutely fallen in love with the Montessori philosophy and I am becoming more and more excited about having my own class room some day.  Last week we finished the Math curriculum.  It was a little bit heavy and a lot to take in.  To celebrate its completion, although I do love math and probably could have done another week of it, I made some cupcakes for everyone.  I turned them into the short bead stair. If you have no clue what that is, the short bead stair is work that Maria Montessori developed to help teach the children numbers and how to easily count them.  The one bead is red, the two bead bar is green, the yellow bead bar is pink, and so on.  Here is a picture of a real short bead stair:  


This is my cupcake creation!
