Montessori Toddler Room

Toddlers are special people. They are just learning to do so many different things – walk, talk, manipulate objects and learning to make sense of the world around them. Toddlers are still young enough that they are likely to attempt to taste nearly anything within their grasp – including some fairly unsuitable items, such as books, clothing, their own shoes or their toys.

For these reasons – and more – toddler furniture needs to be sturdy, easy to clean, and at the same time cheerful and stimulating to the senses. Dr. Maria Montessori, who worked first with mentally disabled children, and then with children from the slums, understood this. She believed that children should be provided with a sturdy environment that creates learning opportunities. She knew, from observation and from reading psychiatric papers and journals of the time, that toddlers and preschool children take a hands-on approach to life. They imitate their elders, and they try to do what they are doing.

By giving your toddler his or her own sturdy furnishings, you can begin to bring order into your child’s life. Chairs that are of the right size, tables that match the chairs, a bed that a person that’s less than three feet tall can climb in and out of easily all bring the world within your child’s control.

Our well-designed toddler furniture follows the ideas presented by Dr. Maria Montessori. Bright, sturdy, easy to clean and child-sized to make your child’s world within personal reach. Add child-sized cleaning tools, such as a broom, dust-pan and cleaning cloths, and you begin to give your child his or her first tools for maintaining order. Shelving that can display puzzles and soft toys makes room cleaning an easy and fun process instead of a dreaded ordeal. We bring learning into everyday living for your toddler.

What We’re Looking For:

Comfort:

When creating a Montessori room for your toddler, comfort and safety should be top of the list. According to Suzanne Kasler, creating a comfortable space for your youngster to explore and develop their mental and motor skills can be as simple as adding a thick and plush rug, or as elaborate as designing the entire room around their play space. Comfort for your toddler can also come in the form of bright colors, plenty of space for their favorite toys, or bright and natural sunlight allowed into the room through sheer and vibrant curtains.

Design:

Designing your Montessori toddler room should be a very personal and specific process that is unique to your child, without being overly busy or too confusing for the youngster to navigate. According to child psychologist, a Montessori room will be built for the child and highly accessible to them through the use of child-sized chairs and beds, educational toys, age-specific books, and well-lit areas for art. Know what your child's individual interests are, and encourage it through toys, sensory platforms, and more. Design the room around a play and exploration area, giving your toddler plenty of space to develop their motor skills, artistic skills, and imagination.

Aesthetic:

The Montessori aesthetic encourages a child to learn about and appreciate daily chores and activities. For most Montessori toddler rooms, Virginia Tupker suggests looking for bright but neutral colors such as beige, cream, or ivory tones to help brighten up the space. Allow your toddler plenty of tasks to do in their own space, to help give them a sense of purpose and pride such as dusting their own bookshelves, sweeping their floor, or being able to put away their own toys in easily accessible and child-sized toy chests.

Material:

When it comes to the best Montessori toys, furniture, and accessories for your toddler's room, focus on high quality solid wood as the main material. Solid wood is an excellent material for durability, especially when it comes to toddler furniture and repetitive learning toys and task items, and in fact is highly preferred for true Montessori toddler items. Birch, pine, and maple are popular and extremely common wood choices for Montessori toddler toys and furniture, while a variety of woods can be used for toy storage, book shelves, and other similar accessories. Materials to avoid for Montessori should be any plastics, some metal, and all glass in order to ensure your child can explore their space in a safe and effective manner.
