Infant and Toddler Montessori Materials

I am often ask by readers for my list of Top Montessori Materials for Infants and Toddlers. Yes, it is very possible to start Montessori in the home and the classroom from birth! Montessori is a lifestyle. Montessori is a way of life. Montessori doesn’t stop at the classroom walls. Montessori doesn’t appear when a child enters preschool.

That is my two cents. Now, onto my favorite materials. Well, I have many favorites so narrowing it down was tough. I may have another list published soon. See below for the materials at the top of my list. Please take a minute to comment.

I hope that you enjoyed this post! I’d love to hear your favorite materials. I didn’t include art materials even though I believe very strongly in giving infants and toddlers the freedom to create art. Perhaps that topic will be covered in a later post.
