I think Spielgaben educational toys are ideal for home and classroom use. See my Spielgaben review and Spielgaben activity posts for more information about Spielgaben. Even though they aren’t inexpensive, they’re definitely worth the price because of the high quality of materials and number of years your children or students can use them (ages 3-12). Spielgaben offers a special discount for my readers each month. All you need to do to claim your discount is send an email to [email protected] mentioning Living Montessori Now and you will be provided with a discount coupon!

Montessori By Mom was started by two teachers to empower parents to teach their own children using Montessori principles and activities. Parents subscribe to receive a box of themed Montessori materials and activities for 3-5 year olds each month. Everything you need for teaching your child with the materials is included in the monthly subscription. Montessori By Mom also has a store with individual toolboxes and activities for sale. Montessori By Mom is an amazing service, which you can learn more about here: Shells and Starfish Activities + Free Printable from Montessori By Mom

 

Pin It! Maps has Montessori pin maps for homeschools and schools. These are beautiful and a creative way to save space but still have a rich geography experience for your children.

 

 

I love Maestro Classics as a way for families (or classes) to enjoy classical music together through stories and high-quality music performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra. You can purchase the albums as CDs and printed activity books or MP3 albums and activity books. I have a series of Montessori-inspired music appreciation activity posts featuring Maestro Classics albums.

Alison’s Montessori has Montessori materials for infants and toddlers through upper elementary. You’ll find a Value-Line E-Catalog, Premium E-Catalog, and other resources such as PDF files, books, arts and crafts, and enrichment materials. There’s even a bargain basement! Read my review of Alison’s Montessori materials. On orders of $75 or more from the Alison’s Montessori online store, my readers can save $10 by using coupon code LMN at checkout!

 

KHT Montessori will start a new online Montessori certificate course on February 27! This course is affordable and perfect for parents and teachers who can’t take a formal Montessori training course (or who want to refresh their own Montessori training). Read more in my post telling about KHT Montessori and with information on the free geography album. I also have a post with more information about KHT Montessori Online Certificate Program!

Montessori Services and For Small Hands

I’m thrilled to be an affiliate for Montessori Services … an absolutely FABULOUS company that has been one of my very favorite Montessori suppliers from the time I owned a Montessori school in the 1980s. It was also one of my favorite Montessori suppliers when I was a Montessori homeschooler in the 1990s. The materials from Montessori Services are just as wonderful today (even more so, since there are more of them)! Montessori Services has two sites … Montessori Services and For Small Hands. Montessori Services has LOTS of products that are perfect for Montessori teachers, schools, and homeschools. Their focus is the primary classroom (3-6 years old) and practical life is their specialty. They do offer products in all curriculum areas, though, and for children younger and older than ages 3-6.

For Small Hands offers products specifically for Montessori at home. Child-size cooking, cleaning, woodworking, and yard & garden products are unique offerings you’ll find at For Small Hands. They also have a wide range of educational games and toys that work well as complements to a Montessori education. Their main age group is 3-6, but they have products for younger and older children as well.

You’ll find some of my favorite Montessori-friendly toys for babies and toddlers featuring a number of toys from For Small Hands in my Best Gifts for Kids: Montessori-Friendly Baby and Toddler Toys.

You’ll find some of my favorite Montessori-friendly toys for toddlers (especially 15 months-3 years) in my Best Gifts for Kids: Montessori-Friendly Toys for Toddlers.
