You don’t need to crowd your home with dozens of toys. Experts often recommend just 4–6 simple toys that spark curiosity and sensory play. A thoughtfully curated play basket—like what you’ll find in our Montessori Gift Sets—can go a long way in keeping little ones engaged meaningfully.
Absolutely! Around this age, babies love exploring textures, shapes, and sounds by grabbing, shaking, or mouthing toys. Age-appropriate toys—especially those made from soft plush, wood, or silicone—can boost hand-eye coordination and early problem-solving through everyday play.
Look for toys that encourage exploration and repetition—like stacking cups, sorting blocks, or cause-and-effect toys. These spark neural pathways and build confidence through self-led learning. Our Nesting Toy Sets and Wooden Activity Kits are designed with exactly that in mind.
Montessori toys nurture your child’s natural curiosity by focusing on child-led, purposeful play—no noisy buttons or flashing lights, just real-world textures and actions. Collections like ours with wooden sensory blocks or cloth pull toys let your baby learn through touch, motion, and repetition.
Yes—at one, your child is soaking up the world through touch, sight, sound, and even smell. Sensory-rich toys—like plush animals, textured rattles, or silicone teethers—help them build emotional security while supporting cognitive growth through playful discovery.
Simple pretend play is just beginning to bloom! Toy phones, baby-safe dolls, plush animals, and mini carriages allow babies to copy what they see around them—strengthening imagination and social awareness. You’ll find playful sets in our Animal Toys and Role Play collections that support this kind of early mimicking.
