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