Colorado-Made Montessori Toys for the Little Ones

The Montessori Method is an educational philosophy catering to a child’s developmental stage, rather than age, that values choice and independence. Bring that philosophy home with Colorado-made, Montessori-inspired children’s furniture that encourages the little ones to play how they please while boosting their creativity, imagination, and motor skills.

This set includes an arch, a cube, rock and ladder ramps, and a large foldable triangle so that children can build their own playground, exactly as they want it. And when what they want changes five minutes later—which it will—they can reconfigure the set to their hearts’ content. ($749, PlayWilder)
