Montessori Toys Australia for Babies & Children

Montessori toys are designed to encourage independence, creativity and problem solving skills. This makes them a great addition to any toy collection. Rather than defining montessori toys as what they are, perhaps they are best defined by what they aren’t. Montessori toys are not electronic toys. They have no flashing lights or buttons. They aren’t made of plastic and they aren’t based in fantasy. Instead, montessori toys are toys that are aligned with the montessori learning philosophy which nurtures a child’s natural desire to learn. It encourages children to follow their interests and learn through doing. Montessori toys are simple. They ignite a child’s curiosity by engaging them in the play, rather than relying on the toy doing all the work. This means that while your child is engaged in play with a montessori toy, they are constantly learning. Whether they are playing with a wooden number puzzle and learning how to order numerals or exploring a fraction puzzle and learning how to form a whole from smaller parts, they are learning the skills to set them up for learning at school and beyond. Montessori toys are made from natural materials, meaning they won’t break after a few turns like plastic toy can. Your child will love engaging with raw materials like wood and babies especially, will enjoy the sensory feedback they get from holding and playing with them. And the best part - no electronics means that you are not constantly scrambling for batteries. Do yourself a favour and take a look at Kinder Toys’ range of Montessori toys for babies and toddlers.
