Montessori play that develops and entertains.

Growing and Learning Through Play – What a Thoughtfully Designed Toy World Can Offer. Children learn best when they’re free to explore on their own. In the Montessori method, it’s all about creating environments and tools that allow for freedom within structure — where materials are carefully chosen to support learning, motor development, concentration, and independence.

When you choose toys designed with this philosophy in mind, you’re helping your child to:

  • Develop both gross and fine motor skills.
  • Strengthen their ability to focus, solve problems, and think creatively.
  • Feel empowered and independent, proud of what they can do on their own.
  • And, most importantly — have fun! Because play is not only development — it’s joy, freedom, and creativity.

Below are some of our favorite educational toys from the Auréz Kids collection, with examples of how they support your child’s development — and why they quickly become favorites in any playroom. Each product is linked directly to make it easy for readers to go from inspiration to purchase.

1. Climbing Cube: CUBITRI® Climbing Play Cube With Rope Window

This climbing cube is more than just a play structure — it’s inspired by both Emmi Pikler and Montessori principles. It invites your child to explore their body, practice balance, strength, and coordination, and use their imagination freely.

Climbing up, crawling through tunnels, and using the rope window offers multiple levels of learning:

  • Gross motor skills: climbing, balancing, exploring height and depth.
  • Coordination: hand-foot connection, grip, and body control.
  • Creative play: the cube can become a fort, house, or tunnel — whatever your child imagines.
  • Independence: your child initiates and creates their own play — rather than following directions.

Parent tip: Place the cube in a space where your child can move freely while ensuring safety and encouragement. Linking to the product page helps readers move easily from inspiration to action.

2. Stacking and Sorting Rings: Montessori Toy Rings

When a child grasps, stacks, and sorts rings of different sizes, they’re practicing fine motor skills and logical thinking — exactly what Montessori play is about: learning through hands-on discovery at their own pace.

The benefits are many:

  • Fine motor development: gripping, holding, and placing.
  • Early math concepts: size, order, and sequencing.
  • Independence: children experiment, make mistakes, and try again — without correction.
  • Engaging simplicity: perfect for a first toy that encourages curiosity and focus.

Tip: Keep the rings within reach so your child can choose them freely. Parents can observe — but let the child lead the play.

3. Learning Tower: Montessori Learning Tower, Kitchen Helper – Louis

The Learning Tower bridges everyday life and play — allowing children to take part at kitchen counter height and join in on activities once reserved for adults.

Benefits include:

  • Involvement: feeling like an active participant builds confidence and independence.
  • Balance and posture: standing securely helps strengthen motor control.
  • Practical life skills: a core Montessori principle — “help me do it myself.”
  • Connection: parent and child can cook, mix, and explore side by side.

Blog idea: describe a “kitchen moment” — baking together, tasting ingredients, letting your child pour or stir on their own.

4. Multifunctional Climbing & Drawing Set: Montessori Climbing Set / Table / Drawing Board NABU

This set combines climbing, drawing, and storage — showing how a child’s space can be both flexible and inspiring.

Why it fits the Montessori approach:

  • Children can choose between active movement and creative rest.
  • The surface encourages hands-on exploration — draw, erase, build, repeat.
  • The modular design supports problem-solving and independent thinking.
  • Suitable from 1 year and up — grows with the child and becomes a long-term investment.

Blog idea: tell the story of how this set “grows with your child” — from early climbing to creative drawing, and later imaginative construction. Perfect for both families and preschools.

5. The Classic: Pikler Triangle Climber with Swedish Wall Add-On (Ages 6m–7y) – Rainbow

A timeless favorite in both Montessori and Pikler play — the triangle with Swedish wall extension encourages movement and exploration.

Benefits include:

  • Physical development: climbing, crawling, balancing.
  • Discovery: children test and challenge themselves at their own pace.
  • Indoor activity: perfect for days when outdoor play isn’t possible.
  • Beautiful design: blends naturally into the home — part of daily life, not just the playroom.

Blog idea: paint the picture — from the first grip at 6 months to a confident climber at 3 or 4 years old — and how parents can support without taking over.

Summary – Key Principles for Choosing the Right Montessori Toy

When writing for parents or educators, highlight these essentials:

  • Choose toys that encourage independence — where the child explores freely within safe boundaries.
  • Look for open-ended materials — tools for discovery, not fixed tasks.
  • Focus on motor, sensory, and creative development — all pillars of early learning.
  • Think long-term — many Montessori toys grow with the child and become lasting investments.
  • Create an environment where play and learning go hand in hand — where both children and adults enjoy the journey together.
