Why this is Roost approved
Montessori baby materials support children as they begin exploring objects with growing control and curiosity. The activities in this stage focus on reaching, grasping and noticing how objects move or feel. Parents may observe how babies become increasingly focused when given simple materials that invite repeated exploration.
How to use at home
- Place materials within easy reach during floor play
- Allow the child to grasp and manipulate objects independently
- Encourage repeated exploration of the same activity
- Keep the play space calm to support concentration
