THE BEST MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION BOX FOR MONTESSORI TODDLERS

The 3 Best Montessori Subscription Boxes

Are thinking about getting a monthly subscription box for your toddler, let me help you out. I have put together this list of the best Montessori Inspired Subscription Boxes out there. If you’d like to read more about Montessori click the link to read my article What is Montessori & 5 Easy Ways to Begin.

I am a minimalist at heart so I was a little skeptical when I first heard about subscription boxes. I didn’t know why anyone would want a continuous flow of toys being sent to their house?! Buuuutttttt now that I have my daughter I totally understand!

If you fall behind on getting your child new materials, they are likely to become bored and distracted from their work. This is where a subscription comes in handy. It takes the guesswork out of trying to find proper materials for you. Instead of stressing to try and figure out what is next, you can rely on these subscription boxes for some quality age-appropriate Montessori materials every month.

Inspired Montessori Subscription Box

I set out by surveying some Montessori mamas to find out what everyone’s favorite Montessori-inspired subscription boxes were. A Montessori toy is usually made of natural materials, such as wood. They are also usually simple in design, to allow growth for the child’s use of imagination and fine motor skills. As an example, think of wooden puzzles and blocks in colorful geometric shapes. I love Montessori toys because they are timeless in design and can even fit in amongst your home’s decor. If you aren’t sure where to buy or how to start with Montessori style toys and activities for babies or toddlers check out our post. There were a few that stood out from the start so, from one Montessori mama to the next, here is the list:

BONUS BOX: Green Pinata Toy Share

While not technically subscription boxes, I couldn’t go without mentioning this fantastic service. Green Pinata Toy Share is basically a digital toy library. You receive 3-4 toys for each shipment. You can keep all or just some of those toys as long as you like. You can even purchase them if your child won’t part with one. When you’ve decided to return your toys you will be sent a new box of toys to keep as long as needed. You can see the appeal this service has for a minimalist mama like me. 🙂

I love these! I’m especially excited by the Green Piñata Toy Share: love the idea of being able to give my son access to high quality educational toys without filling our house with items he will soon grow out of. I also love the look of the Montessori Mom boxes for when he gets a little older. Do you think kids need to be 3 to enjoy the latter, or could they work equally well with a curious 2 or 2.5 year old who doesn’t put small objects in their mouth?

If you have a curious 2.5 year old I think there is no harm in trying the age 3 materials. My daughter excels in language so the age 3 language materials were introduced to her around 2.5 years old. Where as she shows no sign of interest with math or numbers even still at 3 years and 2 months old so we just occasional give her math materials and wait until she is ready. Always follow your child’s lead. 🙂
