Montessori Gifts for Babies, Toddlers & Preschoolers

November 27, 2013 By Racheous

I’m often asked what Montessori inspired toys I recommend and where we have got certain toys from. So I thought I would do a guide for Montessori gifts!

I am only recommending toys that we own (or similar in a couple of cases) and love.

I hope you find some inspiration!

Phew! That was fun! I should say, while I have grouped these by age groups – some of these Montessori gifts can be used for different ages. As with anything with children, you know your child best and what will suit their stage of development!

Thank you for reading!

      It’s so great for object permanence and fine motor for toddlers and then pretend/dramatic play for older kids :)

    This is a GREAT list. Don’t you just love all of the colour and brightness of Montessori style toys. Makes me happy just looking at them.

    Hi Rachel,
    does Lucy still play with lock box toy? My younger son is 20 months old and I was considering this as a gift for Christmas. He had a phase for locking and unlocking a month or two ago but not very long (I guess he didn’t find many opportunities to do this) and I wonder if it will be still interesting for him.

    By the way – link for lock box toy is broken – it leads to rainbow blocks.

    • Racheous says

      November 28, 2013 at 11:36 pm

      Hi Hanna, yes she definitely does. My almost 4 year old does too. It’s certainly a toy that develops with them over time! :)

      Thank you for letting me know!

    Great list! Several of these are favorites in our house, especially the skwish and color blocks! Thanks for sharing this!

    • Racheous says

      November 28, 2013 at 11:59 pm

      The skiwsh is much loved! Thanks for reading Lisette :)
