Hi Amma, Nana, Mumma, Papa. Do you know what makes a toy a "Montessori toy"? It is plaything that supports purposeful, hands-on play while helping me learn through exploration.

These toys don’t overstimulate with flashy lights or sounds but instead spark my curiosity and creativity while helping me grow!

-
Enhance cognitive, fine motor, and gross motor skills.
-
Foster independence by allowing me to play and learn at my own pace.
-
Encourage problem-solving and practical life skills.
These toys align perfectly with the Montessori principle of "learning through doing."
