STEM and Montessori toys can be combined to create materials that encourage children to experiment, discover, and learn in a way that aligns with both STEM principles and the Montessori philosophy. This type of toy is often hands-on, open-ended, and promotes independent learning, making it ideal for developing a wide range of skills and knowledge in children.
STEM toys
S.T.E.M. stands for Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics. STEM toys therefore focus on science, in the broadest sense of the word. This includes many different types of toys that you might not have previously considered as scientific. Such as magnetic blocks, peg puzzles, and shape sorters. As you can see, these toys are suitable for even the youngest children. Your child can become interested in science at such a young age!
Montessori toys
Montessori toys are toys that encourage children to learn and experiment. They should be toys that can be easily held and touched. It is very important for children to develop their fine motor skills. Our open-ended toys are ideal for this.
Take, for example, magnetic tiles. Children learn how to build structures and vehicles by assembling/joining different tiles. This challenges them to use their imagination.
