Great Toy Option for Baby

Puzzles are a great toy option for young children for a variety of reasons. Not only do many children find them interesting, they speak to a young child's need for order, are self-correcting, and promote logical thinking skills. Puzzles help children learn to concentrate and teach language.

Single Shape Puzzles

• Large Circle, Small Circle, Square, and Equilateral Triangle. This is the perfect first puzzle set. Start as early as 9 months introducing one puzzle at a time: circle is easiest for baby.
• In Montessori we always want to isolate concepts as much as possible when introducing things to our children. We want to start as simple as possible and then add additional information or skills. This includes puzzles.
• So, with babies and young toddlers we start with simple single-shape puzzles. With just a single piece, babies can learn the object of in and out without needing to also sort between multiple shapes.

Puzzles Expansion

As he/she gains dexterity and the ability to discriminate between shapes, introduce multiple puzzle at once and let him/her discover which shapes fit into which holes.

Once the child has mastered the shapes you can introduce a multiple shape puzzle or a single shaped puzzle in different gradients/sizes. Once the child has mastered these they are ready for more complex puzzles - different shapes or shapes of objects such as animals or cars or puzzles with increased parts or gradients.

Montessori Toys for Children

Children, especially babies, love exploring their senses, and sensory play is encouraged within the Montessori method of learning. Each of these balls has a nubby surface that your baby will love to touch, taste and explore.

You can choose Montessori toys corresponding to your child's age to cultivate their hand-eye coordination and sensory abilities.
