Montessori-Spielzeug für jedes Alter – Wie My First Book & Small Hands dein Kind begleiten

Montessori toys for all ages – How My First Book & Small Hands accompany your child

Montessori toys are more than just a way to pass the time - they are a targeted way to promote children's development. Maria Montessori's approach is based on children learning through independent exploration and practical experience. But which toys are suitable for which age? In this blog post, you will learn how Montessori toys are optimally tailored to children's developmental phases - and which My First Book and Small Hands products are a perfect fit.

0–12 months: The first sensory experiences

In the first few months of life, a baby perceives its environment primarily through sight, hearing and touch. Toys should therefore stimulate sensory perception without overwhelming it.
Suitable Montessori toys:
✔️ Touch books with different materials
✔️ High-contrast images to promote visual perception
✔️ Tangible, safe fabric elements

🟢 Our recommendations:

  • “Small Hands Contrast Book” – Perfect for the first few months to recognize patterns and shapes.
  • “Small Hands Touch Book” – Different materials stimulate tactile perception.

1–3 years: Developing motor skills, language and independence

Toddlers begin to actively explore the world. They want to grasp, sort and understand their surroundings. Montessori toys for this age group promote fine motor skills, initial language skills and independent learning.
Suitable Montessori toys:
✔️ Books with interactive elements (e.g. flaps, fabric parts)
✔️ Puzzles and sorting games to promote hand-eye coordination
✔️ First everyday exercises such as zipping, buttoning or tying bows

🟢 Our recommendations:

  • “My First Book – My First ABC” – A playful introduction to learning letters.
  • “Small Hands Color and Shape Puzzle” – Promotes logical thinking and motor skills.
  • “My First Book – Laces, Buttons, Zippers” – Perfect for practicing everyday skills.

3–6 years: Promote creativity, concentration and logical thinking

Preschool children develop a greater imagination and logical thinking. They begin to recognize numbers and letters more consciously and love creative challenges. Montessori toys for this age group should therefore specifically strengthen concentration and problem-solving skills.
Suitable Montessori toys:
✔️ Quiet Books with interactive puzzles and learning games
✔️ First math and language learning games
✔️ Role-playing and creative activities

🟢 Our recommendations:

  • “Quiet Book Numbers & Counting” – A playful introduction to the world of numbers.
  • “Quiet Book Vehicles” – Promotes fine motor skills and logical thinking.
  • “Quiet Book Magic Forest” – Stimulates imagination and creativity.
