8-in-1 Wooden Educational Play Kit, Montessori Toys for 1 Year Old

I purchased this Montessori play kit for my toddler, and it has quickly become one of our most used toys. The set includes multiple activities in one — object permanence box, coin box, carrot harvest game, shape sorting, stacking, and even gears — which keeps my child engaged for longer periods of time. Quality & Durability: The wooden pieces are smooth, well-sanded, and painted with bright, non-toxic colors that don’t chip easily. The construction feels sturdy, and even with daily use, it has held up well to rough toddler play. Educational Value: This kit covers a wide range of early learning skills — fine motor development, hand-eye coordination, problem-solving, and even color and shape recognition. I’ve noticed real progress in my child’s patience and focus since introducing this toy. It truly grows with them because each activity offers a different level of challenge. Storage & Convenience: Most of the pieces can be stored inside the main wooden box when not in use, which is a huge plus for keeping everything organized. While not every single piece fits inside at once (especially the carrot harvest board), the majority do, making cleanup easy and quick. Overall: This is an excellent value for the price, considering how many activities are included in one set. It’s well-made, safe, and keeps little ones busy while supporting their development. Highly recommend as a gift or addition to a Montessori-inspired playroom!

As an occupational therapy practitioner, it warmed my heart to see my Godson's daughter engage in play when she first opened it at her 1st birthday party! With modeling, she was able to imitate movements to complete the activities, with the exception of the coin task (which is the hardest to complete for visual motor skills). She also didn't understand why the carrots didn't go in, when everything else did. Hehe. But her fingertip grasp was excellent, pulling them out of the "garden!" And she did try to eat the carrot. Hehe Sizes of pieces were good for grasp, and variable in size for increasing fine motor skills. Nothing seemed like a choking hazard, but interactive play is always best, so supervision should be present anyway 🤷🏽 everything seemed well made and solid, with smooth and sturdy quality wood. Cons(ish): It would've been nice to have a magnetic "fishing" component, like in other similar Montessori toys, but it useful and fun with the activities included. She played with the clock face, but obviously time-telling is a bit above typical toddler aged skills. So something else more age appropriate on that side would've been better, in my opinion. The one thing that was frustrating was the gap in the "railing" in when the ball comes out of the box. The gap is big enough that the balls can roll out. So if you're playing with it on a tabletop surface, you might have to go fetch for the balls rolling away! Overall, a very good, age appropriate choice for most one year olds, in my opinion!

I recently purchased a wooden Montessori toy for my baby, and I am extremely impressed with both its design and educational benefits. The toy is made from high-quality, smooth wood that feels sturdy and safe for little hands to explore. I love that it's free from any harmful chemicals, ensuring that it's perfect for my baby to chew on as they learn. The simplicity of the toy is what stands out the most. It encourages open-ended play and allows my baby to explore different textures, shapes, and colors without the distractions of flashing lights or loud sounds. It's designed to support developmental milestones like hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills, and I’ve already noticed my baby trying to grasp and manipulate the toy with increasing skill. Not only is it beautiful to look at, but it also fits perfectly with the Montessori philosophy of promoting independent, self-directed learning. It's a great addition to our playtime, and I feel confident knowing it's not just a toy, but a tool for development. Highly recommended for parents looking for sustainable, thoughtful, and engaging toys for their little ones!

I absolutely love this Montessori toy! So many different ways to play. It’s the perfect size for travel. The colors are bright and perfect for learning. My 8 month old is loving exploring this toy. It feels durable and well made. My only concern is the paint shedding on the peg board as seen in the pictures. I don’t want my son ingesting the shedding, so I probably won’t let him play with that part until he’s out of the putting everything in his mouth phase.

Bought as a gift for my nieces and they love this play set. It was great for a one year old but also a two and a half year old. It was easy to set up and the kids also know how to work it without any help. Would buy for my own kids.

I’m so impressed with this Montessori toy set! The quality of the wood is excellent—smooth edges, non-toxic paint, and feels very sturdy. My baby loves the variety of activities included; it keeps them engaged for long stretches, and I can see how it’s helping with fine motor skills and problem-solving. I also appreciate that it’s screen-free play and something that grows with my child as they discover new ways to use it. It’s colorful without being overwhelming, and the storage is convenient. A great investment for developmental play!

Bought this for my granddaughter as a gift. She was immediately putting the things where they were supposed to go! The size was perfect for her small hands. It’s colorful and has several activity choices for her to do. It’s small in size but big on fun for the little ones!

This toy is adorable in theory and definitely eye-catching for babies! My 7-month-old is most interested in the carrot harvest part and will happily pull the carrots out over and over, which makes this set feel worth it for now! The overall size is smaller than I expected, which is good for little hands but also makes it feel a bit less substantial. Pros: - Very cute design and colors - Compact size makes it easy to set on the floor or high chair - Carrot harvest is great for grasping and hand-eye coordination - Introduces early Montessori concepts like object permanence, sorting, and cause-and-effect - Lightweight enough to toss in a diaper bag for travel Cons: - Wood feels thin and lightweight - Durability seems questionable long-term - Some pieces don’t feel as solid as higher-quality wooden toys - Smaller size makes it feel a little cheap overall This is a cute, educational toy that works well for short play sessions and early developmental skills, especially for babies who love pulling things out (the carrots are the star here). It’s small and travel-friendly, but the lightweight wood makes me unsure how it’ll hold up with rough toddler play. Not an heirloom toy by any means, but fine for younger babies and casual use if you’re okay with average durability.

Bought for my 1yo and it came exactly as described. Great little set to hone their fine motor skills. 2.5yo also finds it fun to use even if it’s quite easy to use for that age, likes to plant and harvest the carrots. Looks exactly like the picture, carrots might be a little redder but that’s about it. The pieces were probably smaller than I thought they would be, not tiny but still should probably supervise mouthy kids.

I gave this to my grandson for his first birthday. He loves to play with it supervised at this point because of the size of some of the pieces. It’s great for my daughter and son-in-law because it has a neat and tidy little box that fits all the little bits and pieces so they can easily put it out of reach and not worry about choking hazards. As he gets older he will be able to play with it independently! As a retired teacher I would have loved this for a JK - K classroom.

Got this when my little one was 10 months old (hes now 13 months) he’s loving this toy so much he’s played with it at least once a day! Would recommend.

So many things they can do with these and the wood floats in a small pool . My granddaughter loved putting the long finger like pieces in the pool and watching them float away, catch and repeat. This is a basic toy that does "nothing for free", they have to use their imagination and explore. Its fantastic. Total win!

My 1 year old absolutely loves this - I open up his ‘toy draw’ in our lounge room and it is the first thing he always grabs. He has helped him develop so much a hand eye coordination already - we are super happy that we purchased this
