Classic Baby Montessori Toys and Materials. The natural way to learn through play.

Thank you for choosing Classic Baby Montessori Toys and Materials. We are truly excited about the range and we hope you will be too.

 

As parents and educators we know how important your child’s development is. But while formal education is in place for children at a later stage, the vital first three years of a child’s development is often overlooked. Our range of Montessori toys gives you the materials you need to bridge that gap and provide your child with a preschool / Kindergarten Montessori education at home.

 

Our range of eco wooden Montessori toys have been developed based on the original materials that Dr Montessori designed in the 1920s. These beautiful, high quality wooden educational toys have been carefully designed to allow each child to reach their potential through natural curiosity and exploration. Our toys encourage the development of self-confidence, self-motivation, self-discipline and a lifelong passion for learning.

 

Their simple, unassuming design reflects the vision Maria Montessori had – helping to keep the child focused on the task rather than the object. By choosing to make the toys in wood, we are staying true to Montessori: wood offers wider experience to a child through its grain, variety of smells, differing weights and sounds when tapped. Wood also attaches importance to nature, which in turn connects the child to the world around them.

 

Are the Toys Environmentally Friendly?

 

Yes, our toys are eco friendly. This was very important to us when the toys were undergoing research and development. As well as having the toys tested under the Australian/New Zealand toy standards, Classic Baby is part of a global effort to provide products that meet the highest environmental standards. The woods used in our complete range of Montessori toys are sourced from Forest Stewardship Council/Rainforest Alliance Certified™ forests and are responsibly harvested to benefit communities, wildlife and the environment. We want to make a mark on the world, but we don’t want to harm it.

 

 

Yes. You don’t have to be a teacher to use Montessori techniques in your own home. With some clear, helpful guidelines and our Montessori toys; anyone can provide their child with a valuable preschool / Kindergarten Montessori education.

 

Each item in our Montessori Toys range is designed to challenge and stimulate, and we have found that a child will not be satisfied until they have managed a particular task. Even after an activity has been mastered, the infant will continue to come back to it over and over again, happily absorbed in their work. In order to encourage your child and enrich their learning experience, you should think one step ahead of their current stage of development.

 

 

As a Montessori practitioner there are a few points to bear in mind when preparing your home:

 

• Try to encourage order, beauty and simplicity
  
• Provide a quiet, calm and peaceful space, free from clutter
  
• Rotate toys, books and materials each week rather than having everything available at the same time
  
• Create a stimulating environment with activities that attract your child’s interest and are appropriate to his age and capability
