Small rattle are hidden inside the knitted fruit, and the outside is tightly knitted, so it won't come apart even if the baby shakes or chews on the rattle.

This spinning drum can become an attention-grabbing object for raising the head while lying on the tummy and reaching for it with the hand to spin it. ~7-11 month old babies are attracted to the cause-and-effect relationship, actively developing hand-eye coordination.

This drum will meet the most sensitive needs of children: when turned, it makes a sound, develops coordination and visual skills, and strengthens the muscles of the wrist and hand.

We make these gently processed stackable discs for your little one with great love. This is one of the first tools designed for baby development – a true classic of M. Montessori education.

The discs are stacked in such a way that they are easy to grasp, transfer from hand to hand, and thus encourage crossing the midline and help communicate between the left and right hemispheres of the brain.

Placed on a base, this tool will help keep your little one's attention longer while spending time on their tummy. Due to its unique design, it balances gently and stimulates the desire to reach for the tool with the hand - a great incentive to roll over or crawl!

As your child grows, you can reveal the secret of the puzzle and turn the toy into their first puzzle game.

We simply fell in love with this handmade toy! It is ingenious in its simplicity and endlessly charming in its naturalness and softness. From our childhood, we remember it as a "cingu-lingu" – a rattle that swings and doesn't fall over (which is especially important for little ones!), enchanting with its soft bell sound.

And when you're done admiring and playing with it, it becomes a great tool for your little one to practice sitting, reaching, hand-eye coordination, and fine motor skills. The toy keeps standing up, encouraging children to try to rock it again and again without causing frustration.

Made from natural wood, with a stainless steel rattle inside and covered with a 100% recycled polyester "coat." This toy is the perfect gift for grandchildren, one that can be passed down from generation to generation.

Choose from two sizes (15 cm and 10 cm tall) and three types: white lamb, white rabbit, brown rabbit.

Vision is primarily the developing sense of the newborn. The carousels hung above the baby gradually awaken it, becoming the first sensory activity.

"Munari" carousel - the first Montessori carousel that can be introduced to a newborn from the very first days. You can make it yourself by downloading this digital memo with a print-ready template and hanging instructions.

In Montessori pedagogy, the first objects introduced to the newborn are precisely the carousels. They are used from the first day until about three months and are designed considering the development of the baby's vision and attention focus, later becoming an important foundation for intellectual development.

Since vision is still developing at this stage and sight is still blurry, this carousel is contrasting, made up of easily distinguishable shapes. The baby can explore contrast and develop the ability to follow moving objects by observing the shapes hanging in the air.

This tool encourages grasping reflexes and hand-eye coordination. It develops the baby's tactile, auditory, and visual skills. And rolling later encourages the baby to crawl after the toy.

Size: 7x5.5 cm.

The sensory ball basket will help the baby get acquainted with various textures, colors, and patterns. This will awaken the child's curiosity and promote their tactile perception. Later, the balls can be used for various games, discovering cause-and-effect relationships, understanding distances, and movement. 

And the basket suggests a constant place for the items, to which they return every time the games are finished.

Basket size: 20x20x9 cm.

There are four balls in the basket. The mirror ball can be ordered additionally.

We created this tool for the youngest children! This compact board with a mirror can accompany your baby from the very first days: it can be placed in front of your little one, who is spending time on their tummy, or propped up so that they can comfortably explore their reflection while lying on their tummy or back.

As your little one grows, this board will become a great peek-a-boo game when we pull the mirror cover off. And later on, it will become their first puzzle, developing their pincer grip and hand-eye coordination.

This product is recommended for use under adult supervision.

With this one tool, you will meet the need for at least 18 different toys and tools for developing various skills in a growing child during the first 0-18 months of their life.

Most importantly, it will allow your child to experience the benefits of timely skill discovery (eureka!) moments without the distraction of new items in their environment or the frustration of trying to use tools that are not suited to their skills. All of this is extremely important for the long-term development of learning abilities, independent play, and concentration.
