Although proper children's toys are very important, the most valuable item we provide is the 3-12+ Montessori overview, the book "Child of the World: Montessori, Global Education for Age 3-12" (GB100). We recommend it to anyone looking at this site, teenagers, parents, grandparents, educators, everyone.

Very young children love to participate in the real work of the family, but also enjoy beautiful toys with an intelligent purpose. A few toys kept in perfect condition arranged nicely on a shelf, instead of a toy box, will provide endless hours of delight for the young child. Some of the toys on this page are made in Europe for Infant Communities, to last a lifetime of constant, daily use. Most importantly, the wood finish and paint of these, and all of these toys on this site are safe for young children. Though this means they are too expensive for many homes they provide an idea of what kinds of toys are appropriate for the child at this age.
