When it comes to babies, there is an overwhelming amount of toys to choose from, but keep in mind that toys aren’t just created for play, but also to encourage learning. That’s why we love Montessori inspired toys, which allow kids to absorb everything in their environment by experiencing it and being a part of it first-hand. Most Montessori toys are made of all-natural wood with any added colors being primary, so that every toy the child comes in contact with will encourage and maximize independent exploration and stimulation. Take a peek at our gallery below to see some of our favorite Montessori toys for babies and toddlers.
