With Small Hands and My First Book through the first six years – Montessori-inspired companions for child development
The first six years of a child's life are a time of intensive development, full of curiosity, discoveries and first learning experiences. Montessori pedagogy emphasizes the importance of a prepared environment and high-quality materials for a child's independent development. With our Small Hands products for the little ones and the My First Book series for toddlers and preschoolers, we accompany children through these crucial years in a playful way - inspired by Montessori and manufactured to the highest quality.
0-12 months: Discovering the world with all senses
In the first few months of life, sensory experiences are the key to learning. Babies explore their environment through touch, sight, hearing and feeling. Our Small Hands touch books with different textures, contrasts and tangible elements stimulate sensory perception. Products such as the "Small Hands Contrast Book" promote visual understanding, while soft fabric cubes with different surfaces support tactile perception - all according to the Montessori principle of targeted sensory development.
1-3 years: developing independence and fine motor skills
As children get older, their need for independent learning and the first fine motor challenges grows. Our My First Book series offers books that have been specially developed for this phase. Books like My First Book - My First Colors and Shapes Book help toddlers to recognize colors and shapes in a playful way by using interactive elements such as flaps and moving parts.
In this phase, the principle of practical life skills from Montessori education also becomes relevant. Products such as the "My First Book - Laces, Buttons, Zippers" enable children to practice everyday skills independently. This not only strengthens fine motor skills, but also self-confidence and concentration.
3-6 years: Developing logical thinking and creative imagination
In preschool, the ability to think abstractly develops and children begin to recognize patterns, understand logical connections and find creative solutions. This is where our Quiet Books come into play, which support independent learning through interactive elements.
The “Quiet Book Numbers & Counting” introduces mathematical concepts in a playful way and shows that numbers are more than just abstract symbols. At the same time, the “Quiet Book Jobs & Everyday Life” encourages role play and helps children discover different professional worlds.
Another key Montessori principle is freedom within a structured environment . Our interactive books offer just that: they give children the opportunity to explore and learn independently while being supported by clear, simple structures.
Highest quality for the best development
According to Montessori principles, the quality of the learning materials is crucial. Our products are made from high-quality, safe and durable materials . Soft felt, non-toxic colors and sturdy workmanship ensure that every book and toy is a sustainable, safe and valuable addition to the child's world.
