MontessoriToys.com, a website that reviews educational toys inspired by Maria Montessori's ground-breaking philosophy of experiential learning and independent discovery, releases its list of the Best Educational Toys of Christmas 2012.
Playtime is a key contributor to childhood development. As play activities help shape a child's learning ability and coordination, the various toys provided to them at home should offer techniques that support learning and development in a fun and creative manner.
Such is the advocacy of the Montessori Method, which is aimed to encourage children to learn at their own pace according to their special needs, talents, and gifts, so that each child’s individuality can be seen. With roots traceable to the late 1800s, the Montessori philosophy is based on the observations of the French doctors Jean Itard and Edouard Seguin who worked with children with special needs. Maria Montessori, an Italian doctor and teacher, introduced the method into the United States in 1904, underscoring that kids experience true joy and confidence in learning when they are allowed to determine it on their own.
MontessoriToys.com features hundreds of Montessori-inspired educational activities for children of all age groups. To assist parents in making the best choice this holiday season, the website has created a list of the best educational toys 2012![ext]()
for children as young as 3 months old to 14 years. The list includes all sorts of baby toys, wooden educational toys, sandpaper letters, as well as, toys from the popular Melissa and Doug brand.
“I hope this will inspire more parents to try Montessori activities with their kids at home, and see for themselves the benefits they can bring,” said Matt from MontessoriToys.com. “The advantages of activity-based educational toys are backed by nearly 100 years of child development research,” he added.
The award-winning educational toys![ext]()
that make the perfect Christmas presents include Crystal Mining Kit, Hape Alphabet Abacus, Weather Station Kit, FP Brilliant Basics Stack & Roll Cups, Shape Sorting Clock, Melissa & Doug Shape Sequence Sorting Set, Melissa & Doug Architectural Unit Wooden Blocks, Kaplan Montessori Sorting Box, Base Ten Number Concepts Set, Kids in the Kitchen Book, Natural Skwish Rattle, Haba Play Tent Caro-Lini, Haba Ball Track Construction Set, Magica Rattle, Elenco Snap Circuits Jr., and Teaching Cash Register.
In the old days, setting up the proper environment for Montessori activities at home required many hours of designing and building their own activities. Now, the various manufacturers of educational toys offer natural, high quality, task-based "toys" and Montessori materials that let children explore the very same activities they would be doing in a Montessori classroom - for several thousand dollars less.
