Have you noticed that your child is interested in letters? Satisfy your little one's curiosity and respond to their sensitive language period with a playful educational poster of the Lithuanian alphabet.

We created this poster for children based on the Montessori method, so you will find the following aspects important for effective child learning:

• Uppercase and lowercase letters are grouped together so that children can learn the meaning of both symbols and associate them with the same sound.

• associative objects are presented next to the letters according to the first letter - all objects are depicted realistically (photographs), so it is very easy for children to quickly recognize and understand them;

• The objects are deliberately chosen to be close to children's themes: nature, animals, food products, household objects, body parts;

• if there is no word beginning with a specific letter, you will find an empty circle, thus maintaining the order of the alphabet and the principle of letter-object associations according to the first letter;

• animals are depicted in full body to form a complete perception of the object.

The book "Sofija Learns About Babies" is for anyone who is expecting or has recently welcomed a new addition to their family. A baby in the family is a significant change for older children, so it is important to help them calmly navigate this period and convey the experience that awaits them. In this 60-page book, you will find short stories for brothers and sisters about a baby's development from birth to six months.

This book presents the change in a positive light: without preconceived notions or expectations, in a gentle and positive manner, while remaining realistic. It provides examples of how to communicate, play, and behave, which older siblings can try out right away if they want to.

"Sofia Learns About Babies" series author Polly Zielonka is a doctor of psychology, mother of two children, and Montessori practitioner.

Along with the book, you will receive a guide for parents created by Miglė and Austėja on how to help older children prepare for this change.

"A child can develop fully through experience in their environment. We call this experience work." - Maria Montessori

In order for our children's development to proceed as smoothly and at a pace acceptable to them, we must ensure a properly prepared environment and work tools, i.e., tools and toys. However, sometimes it seems that we have provided plenty of toys, and the room is beautiful, but the little one is not interested in anything, is restless, and does not stay with one activity for long. This is a sign that it is time to audit the tools your child has and try out the toy and tool rotation strategy that is most appropriate for your child's age. 0"In this informational memo, we have described how to conduct a successful toy audit step by step and how to choose the most appropriate rotation strategy for your child and start rotating! 0"In the learning guide, you will find:

• how to choose the right tools;
• why less is more;
• how to conduct an audit of your existing toys;
• how to categorize and group toys and tools for rotation;
• what toys and tools we do not rotate and why;
• three rotation strategies from birth to six years of age;
• further presentation and maintenance of tools.

Rekindle children's curiosity and discover new ways to learn, play and move together. The pebbles can be used for a variety of active games, relay races or tracks, as steps to reach the house, when turned over - swings, storage trays or bowls in which to collect treasures from outdoor adventures, sort objects by color or play with water.

You can make a mini stool with the board or use the board alone to develop balance by spinning and rolling. This is a great set to immerse yourself in the world of Stapelstein® and learning through movement.

Stapelstein® pebbles are extremely light - each weighs just 180 g., there are no sharp corners or edges, they are resistant to water, saliva and UV rays. Meanwhile, they can withstand even 180 kg. weight, so the whole family can play! The balance board can withstand 120 kg.

From this kit, you can make a popular dynamic chair that easily adapts to any body size and strengthens your core and back muscles while sitting.

Stapelstein® products are waterproof and can therefore be used for water games. However, they are not a substitute for flotation devices! Small children playing in the water with Stapelstein® products must be supervised.

From birth, balls of various sizes, colors, and surfaces serve as perhaps the most universal tool and toy for a child. Balls help children discover movement, understand distances, explore cause-and-effect relationships, and develop hand-eye coordination.

As children grow older, balls become unique initiators of movement, inviting them to explore the capabilities of their physical bodies. How many games do you know with balls? Yes, we know countless games too! The best part is that ball games involve the whole family!

These Ratatam balls, made in France, are known for their durability and quality. They also feature the most important elements of childhood – bright colors and, of course, glitter. And how high they bounce! Our girls E and R tried them out and now they don't want any other balls!

*A bicycle pump is required to inflate the ball.

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.

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.

Provide your child with the space to develop a passion and let him enjoy having his own unique Bookcase, which will be a beautiful and practical element of your child's room.

Reading is a great tool for learning and expanding knowledge, which positively affects the intellectual development of a child. In addition, reading has a positive impact on emotional development, as it allows the child to feel and deal with emotions. Books can inspire a child to understand the emotions of others and teach them how to express their own feelings appropriately. That's why it's a good idea to encourage your child to read regularly to support both intellectual and emotional development.

The Bookcase has 5 open shelves, on which the child can stack books with their covers facing forward. Such a solution provides quick and easy access to the items, but also makes it easier for even the youngest toddlers to recognize them. This is because the furniture has been adjusted to the child's height, which encourages him to use it independently.
