From one family to another...

Les Monti'Cocos is a boutique created in 2023 by Helena under the name La dame des gribouillis in Canada, a franchise of the French boutique of the same name.

In 2025, La Dame des Gribouillis in Canada becomes Les Monti'Cocos.

Helena and Benjamin are first and foremost the parents of 2 little ones who follow them on their immigration adventures to Quebec. He's a former high school teacher in France, and she's a former massage therapist in France, now working in early childhood in Quebec.

We invite you into our educational world, inspired by Montessori and alternative and emerging pedagogies.

Here you'll find both a store run by Benjamin and an educational blog, with free sharing of tips and activities created by Helena as part of her work in a Quebec daycare center.

Welcome to the Monti'Cocos family

    Activities vehicles

    This month I decided to explore this theme when planning with my group of infants. Some friends in my group used to play a lot with "cars", and my son has developed the same passion, so naturally I wanted to create several activities linked to this theme.

    Activities that stimulate different developmental domains: language, cognitive, physical and motor.

    Activities for preschoolers from nursery age.

    Here are some posters I've created for my local display.

    You'll find :

    • 4 rhymes for snacks/dinner (Lave tes mains, Mon petit ventre, Bon appétit, Qu'est-ce qu'on mange?)
    • 2 hello rhymes(Bonjour tout va bien, Bonjour les amis)

    A theme that children love. And just as well, there are plenty of activities for children on this theme.

    In addition to the sensory bins and mini worlds, I offer activities in math, science, graphics, tangrams and others that I've created and tested with an age group from 3 to 5.
