Montessori toys are open-ended items that encourage ultimate learning for our little ones.
And having fewer toys doesn’t mean are kids have boring childhoods.
In fact, research shows the less toys a child has less time spent deciding what to play with.
AKA leaving more time for imaginative play ( boosting their creativity, confidence, curiosity, social skills, and so much more.)
As a minimalist mama, this is perfect news!
We can be more intentional with what we bring into our homes and see those efforts reflected in our children’s emotional development.
