Montessori from the first days
The philosophy of Maria Montessori is an encouragement to actively discover the world through play! And fun is a natural behavior for children - and from the first days of life. Can a weekly baby play? He is already watching the world and although he sees black, they are fascinated by black and white contrasts. Soon handles and legs also become interesting, and over time everything you can catch, shake, explore with handles (textures, endings, protruding elements). This is the time when turning from side to side, gentle massaging and familiarizing with new toys are great adventures, directly translating into the child's development.
Montessori inspired toys cultivate cognitive, social, emotional and physical development of babies. By introducing its elements from the very beginning, you can check if it will be the right choice for your child and your family.
What is Montessori toy?
There is no official certification or the official list of "approved" Montessori toys. The toy can be considered a toy Montessori, if it supports this educational philosophy to some extent, inspired by it.
What should you pay attention to when choosing a montessori toy for babies:
1. Natural materials.
Surround the toddler with natural materials: wood, metal, cotton, wool, paper ... Do you have to give up plastics completely? Admittedly tMontessori's radio toys are usually made of wood - such toys were available at a time when Maria Montessori lived. Currently, there are also many brilliant toys inspired by this pedagogy, made of other nature -friendly materials: silicone or bioplastics (e.g. sugar cane). As a parent, you decide how much your home montessori should be orthodox and focused on rigid terms.
2. Simplicity and resignation from dispersion elements.
Montessori are toys without playing, glowing, and mutiated effects. Without batteries and speakers. Remember that a mess is also dispersion! Instead of buying tons of unnecessary toys, get just a few - suitable for each stage of development that will be ahead of you. Less number of toys allows the child to focus on the task. From the parent's point of view, fewer toys are also less cleaning, and more time for himself when the toddler falls asleep.
3. One function / one skill
Montessori toys for infants should focus the child's attention on one skill/concept or, as it is sometimes said - strong stimulation of only one sense. The ability to focus on one stimulus or one trained skill allows you to build foundations for learning at a later time.
4. Realistic
If a plush squirrel, it's like in the forest or in the photo. If a fudge figurine is like in a pasture, not a cartoon. If pots for a toy kitchen - these are the miniatures of those used by adults. Maria Montessori preferred toys and books that were rooted in reality. Children love to imitate the adult world around them, but this is an assumption that will be important to you in a much later period than baby ...
