6 Montessori Toys for your Baby on Etsy

As Ronia is getting a little older, I am recognizing the importance of having engaging and educational toys for her. Not toys that light up or sing to her, though she is occasionally entertained by those. No, I am looking for more simple entertainment. Why? Well let’s just say by trial and error I have noticed how easily she can become over-stimulated, and therefore does not sleep well at night. Mama needs her sleep, so we’ve been giving her less time around electronics and it seems to be helping. Below are 6 Montessori Toys for your Baby on Etsy.

Now I used the term “baby” loosely, as a couple of these toys are more appropriate for toddlers. Be sure to keep that in mind as you read on.

1. Rainbow Abacus

When I saw this rainbow abacus on Etsy I knew Ronia had to have it. I mean, how cute is this? It’s interactive and aesthetically pleasing. You can even choose the color scheme of your abacus. For now this toy is fun for Ronia to play with, but I’m looking forward to using it to practice counting in the future.

2. Wood Mushroom Log Toy

Ronia loves her carrot shape sorting toy, so I’m sure she would appreciate this wood mushroom log toy as well. What I love about it is that you can practice hand-eye coordination, dexterity, colors, as well as learn about nature. The pieces non-toxic and ideal for any Montessori play space.

3. Safe Wooden Knife for Kids

Ronia is already highly independent and prefers to feed herself. She also loves to watch me cook, so a toy like this safe wooden knife for kids would be perfect for her to learn in the kitchen. I follow a mother on Youtube who lets her kiddos cut up their own fruits and veggies with a safe knife, and it’s so sweet to watch. I love how this toy promote independence.

4. Soft Silicone Sorting Tower

You’ll have to stay tuned for my review of this toy. It’s cute and great for teething, but not a huge hit in my house so far. I’m sure over time it might be. There are dozens of sorting towers on Etsy, however, and toys like these are also good for promoting grasping and dexterity.

5. Climbing Triangle

Of all the toys in my list of 6 Montessori Toys for your Baby on Etsy, this one is definitely for toddlers. A climbing triangle is the perfect playroom toy for toddlers with a whole lot of energy… so all of them. It’s especially helpful on rainy or cold winter days when playing outside is not an option. You can adjust the set up of play triangles like this one as well as use it for forts and imaginative play. Love!

6. Acorn Sorting Set

Another Montessori toy that is mostly for toddlers is this acorn sorting set. It is still a choking hazard for babies, so you would need to watch your little one closely while playing with them, or save this toy for when they are old enough not to want to eat them. What I love about these acorns is how versatile they are. You could use them for color matching, counting, sorting, or for pretend play in the kitchen.
