Absolutely. The Montessori approach celebrates child-led play and natural discovery, which is exactly what your little one craves at this age. Simple toys like stackers, wooden blocks, or shape sorters help them explore at their own pace and build confidence.

Most little ones are ready for Montessori-style play anywhere between infancy and 3 years. You’ll notice your baby naturally reaching for things to grasp, sort, or stack—that’s your cue. Just keep observing their interests, and offer gentle invitations to explore with toys that grow real-world skills.
Your baby picks up coordination, language basics, color and shape recognition, and even early problem-solving—all through simple, playful activities. A pouring set or large-piece puzzles can quietly work wonders for fine motor skills and independence.
