Baby Montessori Boxed Set is cranium food for new people

Montessori. Just the mere mention of it can confuse, intimidate and equally raise or repel parents to their education line in the sand. We think of Montessori as a way of teaching in a way that lets kids find the answer, lets them think more on their own, or uses different methods to engage the students. For example, I teach at a public school, but my methods are ‘Montessori-esque’, in that I’ll let the students dangle on the fishing line of education for a while before I give them the answer. It’s better to teach kids how to get to the answer than to just provide them with it. Those new or expecting parents who want to inspire newborns through crawlers with various concepts should check out Baby Montessori Boxes Set.

It’s a collection of four board books with start, contrasting images that those new people will be hardwired to be attracted to. Everything is black, red or white. Some pages are white, some are black. The body parts on the animals, maze trails, stems, petals, ears, or more might be red, white, or black.

Even as an adult opening up one of the books your eyes will pop open just a bit wider. There are four books in Baby Montessori Boxed Set, including, The Garden, Animals, Big or Small?, and Follow Me!. In this instance, the board books are part of a set and not individually packaged.

Will your crawler like this? I don’t know, we haven’t had a newborn or crawler in this house in years. They will certainly be curious about them and be mesmerized by the disparity in the colors and the patterns within them. I do know that we shared this boxed set with our school and their pre-K audience and they enjoyed them. That age was a bit too old for them as this is better geared for children up to one year old. However, because the books are wordless it’ll teach concepts that the kids can think about and rationalize for themselves, without mom or dad’s interference to understand those pesky letters and read words.
