Are you looking for some Unique Montessori Gifts for babies? Keep on reading to find the best Montessori toys for 0 to 12 months old. Since little ones are very different and every child has its own developmental phase, these toy ideas aren’t necessarily set in stone for that age group. Therefore, some of these toys are a fantastic fit for young toddlers (12-18 months old).

Have you never heard of Montessori toys before? Why are they better for children? You’ll find out in a later article. But to don’t leave you hanging, Montessori Education encourages babies and children to explore and experience more about the world its surroundings. We all know that children learn how things work through play. Kids are mini-scientists who try everything out to see what happens next. I highly recommend introducing toys that will boost your child’s development and help him gain skills that will follow him around his whole life. 

Please note that this post is part of my Christmas Gift Guide Series, the ultimate unique Montessori gift ideas for babies and toddlers. So if you are a substantial Montessori fan, just like I am, you’ll love this series!
