Christmas Gifts

Montessori Christmas gifts for kids that get played with all year

Every December, homes fill with toys that light up, sing and are forgotten by New Year. This collection is the opposite: Montessori Christmas gifts made of wood and felt, with no batteries, that a child will still be playing with next Christmas. They are the presents grandparents come back for year after year.

What are the best Montessori Christmas gifts?

• Montessori Wooden Farm: the big present. A barn, animals, gates and fences for years of small-world play. Suits ages two to five.
• Farm Sorting House: a posting house with animal-shaped doors; our most popular toddler gift.
• Festive Felt Tree: a soft felt Christmas tree that toddlers can decorate and redecorate all season, and a wonderful way to keep small hands off the real one.
• Christmas Music Box: a wooden keepsake with a gentle tune, the sort of gift that comes out every December for a decade.
• Busy books such as the Bear, Raccoon and Bible Busy Book: perfect stocking-sized presents that travel to grandma's on Christmas Day.

Gifts for grandchildren

If you are a grandparent, you want a present that is opened with a gasp and still in use at Easter. That is a harder brief than it sounds, and it is exactly what our genius gifts for grandkids guide was written to solve.
