Montessori high toy shelf
Montessori high toy shelf
The high toy shelf meets Maria Montessori's principle that children should be able to choose their own activities. This helps them develop self-confidence and allows them to freely change and adapt their decisions to specific situations.
By choosing a toy shelf for your child's room, you give your child space that supports his or her development. Preschoolers enjoy using well-designed furniture, taking out toys and moving them to their activity room, only to put them back later. Observe your child's decision-making process. If you support this skill, it will become a very important attribute of this adult person in adult life.
The toy shelf has three shelves that the child has unlimited access to. The furniture stands directly on the floor and is only 70 cm high.
Child safety
Interiors where the youngest children stay should not contain elements that pose a risk to them while playing. What we mean here are sharp edges, exposed contacts and angular corners of furniture. It is also unacceptable to shield parts of the room with barriers.
The toy shelf is made of hardwood plywood and finished by sanding the edges and rounding the corners. This material is intended for making children's toys and furniture. The material meets all international standards for wooden products with which children constantly come into contact.
All shelf elements are carefully finished by hand and free from sharp edges. They were protected with certified preparations with the appropriate approvals.
The toy shelf is designed so that a child can climb on it without the furniture falling over. This is because the low center of gravity is moved rearward by adding a massive rear end.
The shelf is mounted with a regular screwdriver and takes about 5 minutes.
Freedom of movement and easy access to toys.
In a Montessori nursery, freedom of movement and unrestricted access to all elements of the equipment play a key role. The device should not only enable but also encourage the child to discover new objects and use familiar objects.
The toy shelf is placed low, directly on the floor. It does not protrude too much from the wall (it is 35 cm deep), allowing you to freely divide the space. The shelf has three shelves, and the toys on it are easily accessible even for a very small child.
The toy shelf is 70 cm high. This gives the child easy access to toys and encourages them to put them back after playing.
Calm colors.
The Montessori method uses a subdued color palette. This does not mean that a children's room has to be boring. After all, the toys and books themselves bring the power of colors that contrast with the environment into the interior! Light-colored furniture is a good choice.
We offer the toy shelf in different colors: natural, white, gray, mint and blue. The furniture fits perfectly with our children's bookcase, available in the same colors.
