Montessori educational games and toys
Montessori educational games and toys are the basis for effective learning through play in the early years. Games and toys developed on the basis of the Montessori method are based on the need to offer children hands-on learning through independent interaction and shared play.
The Montessori Method was popularised by the Italian physician Maria Montessori. The principle of the method, which is now recognised as a holistic approach to early education, is that children learn more successfully through independent experimentation. Montessori toys therefore focus on being immediately engaging, accessible and rewarding. This model of self-discovery encourages a natural curiosity to continue learning.
In this category, you will find games that leave a lot of room for children to be active on their own, where the goal of the game is not necessarily to win, but to get better at a skill or understand a principle.
