Officially, there is no such thing as a Montessori toy; anything that fits the philosophy can qualify. Passive toys made of natural materials allow your toddler to practice one skill at a time & make for great Montessori-aligned materials. Uncomplicated in construction & purpose, these kinds of toys feel good to hold, don’t provide over-stimulation & tap into your child’s natural inclination to learn.
