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.

Practical Life, or real work, was the favorite activity of children in that first Montessori school in Rome over 100 years ago and it remains so today. Through this important work children learn to concentrate, to follow logical steps, to perfect their attempts, to be independent, to take care of themselves, their friends and family, and the environment. Most of all they feel good about themselves, become happy, and more compassionate. In the home it is a wonderful way to spend time with the rest of the family. The selections here have been tested for many years and proven to be the best examples in each category.
