Here are some recommendations for Montessori toys suitable for 1-year olds:

Updated: Mar 23




1. Object Permanence Box: This classic Montessori toy helps develop object permanence and hand-eye coordination as children drop a ball through a slot and see it reappear.

2. Montessori Inset Puzzle: Specifically designed for tiny hands, an inset puzzle with knobs introduces shape and size discrimination.

3. Sensory Balls: Textured fabric or rubber balls offer tactile stimulation and encourage grasping and throwing.

4. Nesting Blocks: Wooden nesting blocks in varying sizes promote stacking, nesting, and size comparison skills.

5. Ring Stacker: A simple wooden ring stacker encourages hand-eye coordination, while also introducing size differentiation and sequencing.

6. Soft Fabric Books: Cloth books with simple illustrations and textures provide an early introduction to reading and sensory exploration.




7. Object Exploration Basket: Fill a basket with safe-to-explore objects of various textures, shapes, and sizes to encourage sensory exploration and curiosity. These toys are carefully designed to promote sensory exploration, fine motor skill development, and cognitive growth, aligning with the principles of Montessori education for early childhood development.
