Activities, listed here, are exact reproductions taken from a Montessori classroom. These are not toys, but materials with purpose to complete a job. The child can admire what he or she did, satisfaction is guaranteed. As you see, there are not that many activities to choose from, for a reason. Life does not give us unlimited choices, by the way, the more choices the harder to choose. What we need is to make a decision as the child needs to make his or hers. Painting, clay, transferring, cooking or cleaning?

With each activity you purchase, we will include a detailed explanation of the purpose, as we, Montessorians, would look for in activities. You decide does it make sense. Visit our site time to time as we change and perfect the materials. It is just a beginning! Take Montessori home!
