Our Favorite Montessori Materials Through the Ages of 0-6

The Christmas season is fast approaching and we’ve already seen an increase in questions about Montessori gift ideas in our Christian Montessori Network Facebook group! Each year we like to share some of our favorite Montessori items and this year we are taking a look a ideas Montessori materials through the ages.

I wanted to make sure each person on the CMN team was represented, so all of the materials below have been personally suggested by one of the team members!

Also remember, follow your child and introduce each of these items as your child seems ready. They may be ready for some of these items earlier or later than the ages they are listed under.
