🌟Introducing The Music Set! 🌟
Made for moving, shaking, and real-music-making.

🧑‍🔬Did you know that according to some scientists, musical performance is every bit as important educationally as reading or writing? With The Music Set, you get a detailed Play Guide that shows you how each instrument can be used to benefit speech development, early math skills, and even impulse control.

🤍 Your child will love that it is full of real instruments, and because we designed these instruments so that every note is harmonious, they’ll be proud of the music they make.

🤍And you’ll love that it’s easy on your ears, no matter how they play. 🙃

Your nearly 3-year-old’s independence and curiosity is blossoming like never before. 🌼 They love making choices and seeing other children do the same! As you read “This or That?” to your child, they’ll follow twins Kaius and Sovi as they make decisions about how to style their hair and what food to eat. While guessing which option each brother chooses, your child will also practice their predictive reading skills! 🤩

Get a sneak peek at "This or That?" in our latest video!

Montessori principles believe in providing your child with real tools that are the right size for their little hands, this way your child can actively participate in practical life activities.

Kylie from @howwemontessori on IG explains: “Often as Montessori parents, we look for smaller but real versions of the adult's tools. A real but small shovel, a real but small hoe. Small materials are easier for the child to manipulate but are very different to toy, plastic or pretend versions. A Montessori parent doesn't give their child a plastic hammer, we give them a small but real hammer, we slowly over time show the child how to use it, we give them time to practice and use it alongside us. Then the day comes when they are ready to use it by themselves. This may happen at three years or six but the child comes to this point themselves, through real experiences.”

We have found that by creating real, but child-sized tools, such as, the Squeaky Clean Squeegee from the Enthusiast Play Kit or the Squeeze & Spray Mop from the Storyteller Play Kit might mean your windows and floors are extra clean… But it also means your child will get to participate in practical life activities that help your child feel more independent and develop a greater sense of confidence. 🥳

What other child-sized tools have you implemented into your household? 👇

Around 6 months until about 12 months, your little ones take in more information through their mouths 😋 than with their fingers, or any other parts of their bodies.⁣
⁣
Mouthing is one of the earliest forms of problem-solving and exploration. Studies show that mouthing objects helps with speech development and prepares babies for different food textures. 👍⁣
⁣
Babies are also using their mouths to learn even when things aren’t in their mouths! ⁣
⁣
They begin to experiment the different ways they can move their mouth, jaw, and tongue. These movements help build their muscles to allow them to eat solid food and lay the foundation for those adorable babbles, and eventually talking! 🗣️⁣
⁣
Mouthing and experiences in the mouth also help your baby’s gag reflex move from the front of the tongue to the back of their tongue. 👅 The gag reflex stays with your baby throughout their life!⁣

Researcher and professor Marty Rossmann studied a group of children for over 25 years, and found “the best predictor of young adults’ success in their mid-20’s was that they participated in household tasks when they were three or four.” 🙌

This makes so much sense, until you see your 3-year-old spread more crumbs around than they’re sweeping up. Doing tasks yourself can seem so much easier when you’re short on time, but teaching your child how to do chores is worth it, we promise. 😉

How you can help your child develop a positive relationship with household tasks: 👇

✨ Capitalize on work cycles:
A “work cycle” is a Montessori concept. It refers to a chunk of uninterrupted time that is devoted to exploring the environment and engaging with the materials inside it.

Thinking about chores as work cycles helps you break them into discrete phases and be specific when you model them. If you want to teach your child to help do the laundry you might highlight 4 steps: take a shirt out of the dryer, put it in a laundry basket, bring the basket into the bedroom, and then fold it. Three-year-olds love to imitate, so keep your movements slow and let your child copy what you’re doing.

👍 Offer child-size tools:
Look for child-sized brooms, laundry baskets, and mops to give your 3-year-old the greatest opportunity for success. Household tasks are a lot harder to do—let alone learn—with mops and brooms that are twice your child’s height, or baskets large enough for them to sit in.

Give your child the boost they need to accomplish real goals. For example, step stools in the kitchen and bathroom help your child reach things independently, and a laundry hamper in the bedroom reminds them to get put dirty clothes away.

👏 Make rituals out of your requests:
Letting your child pick a few cyclical activities—like feeding the dog or doing the laundry—gives them more opportunities to practice. This repetition allows them to build relationships with their contributions and find more success.

🥳 Have fun working together:
Joyful collaboration is a vital ingredient in your child finding meaning in chores and feeling like they’re a critical part of your family culture.

We all know that toddlers are emotional; it’s a universally acknowledged fact. Yet the volume and intensity of their emotions can still take anyone by surprise.

A tantrum often means “I want my voice to be heard but I don’t have the right words, and I want control over something.” Of course, sometimes the reasons are purely biological: your child may be tired, hungry, sick, or off their normal routine. While you sit with them through a tough moment, try to go through a mental checklist of these causes—even if it doesn’t help right away, you may just have something to help them feel better when the tantrum has passed. ❤️

As adults, the aftermath of a tantrum can also be difficult—for us at least, maybe not for our toddlers...

Adults tend to hang onto things longer than our children do. Not every tantrum is a teachable moment—sometimes the best we can do is let the tantrum happen, then move on like it never did. This way, we show our children that we all lose our cool sometimes, that we’re allowed the space to do so, and that we don’t need to feel shame for showing our emotions.

Once your child has calmed down and they are starting to move on, move on with them. Reconnect by holding hands, singing a song, or just sharing a big hug. There are benefits to telling the story of what happened back to them later—as long as you’ve allowed time to pass and don’t give in to the impulse of lecturing them about their behavior. 🙃
