One thing I have always struggled with is knowing where to go next with Montessori. I know what my daughter likes now because we have tried and tested so many different things but when she has a growth spurt and is ready for the next thing I have to start all over again.

I thought if I am having this issue other moms must be too! What better way to find out what works than to ask other moms. So I have created a list of tried and tested materials suggested by over 100 moms! These are their top 15 favorites and chances are they will be your child’s favorites too.
