Montessori toys are not necessarily wooden, even tough wood is our personal preference. Organic materials, such as our carefully selected woods, are safe and harmless since they contain no dangerous substances. Additionally, they are much more durable than ordinary plastic toys.

Natalie Bowman
"Love these toys! As a speech-language pathologist, I believe that the more problem-solving, and hands-on a toy can be the better! I love that these toys nurture creativity and don't have an "on/off switch". REAL educational toys are hard to come by, which is why I'm such a huge fan of Montessori Generation toys."

"I bought these toys for my children they are 2 and 3 years old. Bless their little hearts they just won't drop them. I am definitely ordering more. I love to see their cute little faces smile and shine. "
Donna Esposito
"Everything arrived just as described and quickly. Very well packaged and good looking. Opened the package to see if there's any damage (all good) since this is a gift barely being able to stop my kid from playing with the blocks ! Will be ordering again, but for her.😂"
Jonathan Halpert
"This is my favorite Montessori toy store. Though my kids have many other (loud and flashy) toys, at the end of the day, wooden blocks or quiet books are the last things they play with before bedtime."

About Montessori Generation
Montessori Generation Team gathers around the shared belief of a group of parents, aunts, and uncles that they can make a real difference in the lives of the children they love. That’s us!
We noticed a pattern we didn’t like: even the newest, shiniest toys were often left untouched, while screens and devices took too much of the children's attention.
Inspired by Maria Montessori's philosophy, we took her child-centered approach that emphasizes hands-on, active learning and practical life skills and adapted it to fit today's world.
