Toys and games Montessori

Montessori toys: learn, explore and discover at your own pace

Inspired by the Montessori approach, Montessori toys for children focus on hands-on learning, experimentation and gradual discovery. They allow children to play and learn at their own pace through activities suited to their abilities and interests.

Wooden Montessori toys, educational toys, sensory toys, busy boards, fine motor toys, sorting toys and shape sorters support early learning around numbers, letters, colours and shapes.

Montessori sensory toys: touch, observe and explore

Discovery also happens through the senses. Montessori sensory toys invite children to touch different textures, observe colours, handle shapes and compare the objects around them.

Textured discs, sensory blocks, mirrors, sensory balls and activity boards offer a wide range of play experiences. These activities allow children to explore freely while developing attention, curiosity and observation skills.

Sensory toys for children also provide a variety of sensory experiences through simple activities based on touch, observation and hands-on exploration.

Sorting toys, shape sorters and fine motor activities

Sorting, threading, fitting, opening, closing and grasping are all movements that children can practise with Montessori fine motor toys.

Sorting games, peg toys, wooden tongs, magnetic mazes and busy boards encourage precise movements and hand-eye coordination. Children look for the right solution, try, start again and gradually improve through hands-on practice.

These Montessori educational toys fit easily into young children’s everyday activities and offer varied learning experiences while keeping play at the heart of the activity.

Learning to count, write and recognise colours

The Montessori approach can also support early learning around numbers, letters, colours and maths.

Addition and multiplication boards, fractions, counting rods and counting games help children explore numbers in a more concrete and playful way. For letters and early writing, Montessori alphabet puzzles and tracing boards help children gradually become familiar with letter shapes and writing movements.

Educational toys to support children’s discoveries

Montessori toys and games offer a wide range of activities focused on independence, motor skills, sensory exploration and early learning. Depending on their age and interests, children can handle, sort, count, observe or solve simple challenges.
