Support Circle Focus: How to do Montessori at Home

The Totter + Tumble Support Circle series is rooted in connection and support. We have been inspired to create content that will connect you to businesses and resources who can support your unique parenting journey. 


In our Focus pieces, we take a closer look at a topic we think will help you. If you are in the Toddler and preschooler stage, you may find our Support Circle content Toddlerhood to School Days useful.

Did you know Totter + Tumble playmats are created with a Montessori approach? Designed to be subtle in the family home but also subtle within play, a major Montessori principle. Our simple, one piece floor mats help to put the focus on the toys or activity in front of little ones, while the memory foam underneath supports, much like a Montessori work mat.

If you want to implement a Montessori approach at home, here are our favourite resources available to support and inspire playtime and beyond.

Lovevery create play kits are designed by child development experts and cater to babies' and toddlers' age and stage. Built to last, they reduce toy waste, ensure your shelves aren't bursting and can be passed on to friends or future siblings as little ones grow out of them. You can choose to subscribe to a play plan too, so a new bundle, perfect for your little ones stage, arrives at your front door at the right time.
