Educational Toys for Babies & Toddlers

By Holly 2 Comments

 As I have gotten more into my inspired Montessori curriculum within our home,  I have really re-thought presents for this Christmas. My first gut reaction is that I really just want our families to spend time with my children. Because most of them live over 3,500 km away from us, time with all of our relatives is very precious and an important experience to us! However, they are generous individuals that still want to get the children something which I can appreciate.

I have included educational toys for both babies and toddlers in three different categories: Montessori Toy Wishlist, Budget-Friendly Toys (under $20) and Do It Yourself Toys that you can make for your loved ones. There is also a section for Toddler Furniture that I think is great!
