Basic principles of a Montessori room
Less is more
The Montessori approach recommends having fewer,
but higher quality, toys. Too many toys overwhelm
a child and reduce their ability to concentrate.
Clarity and accessibility
Toys should be neatly stored and the child
should have free access to them. Open shelves
at a child's height are ideal.
Toy rotation
One of the keys to the Montessori approach is toy rotation –
put some toys away and rotate them after a while. The child will
perceive old toys as new.
