Surely many parents still think that applying Montessori at home will be very expensive and laborious. This may be true of the Montessri classroom at school. However, Montessori at home is completely different.

One of the best and easiest ways to use Montessori at home economically and effectively is with toys. Instead of giant toy boxes, try placing a select number of toys on the shelf into a container. These containers parents can completely buy from the store at a cheap price.

Points to note when applying Montessori at home

 Size: Parents often choose quite small containers because they think that the children will be easy to hold and move, but if the container is too small, it will make it difficult for the baby to take out and put things in. However, if the container is too big, children will not want to work with it because they feel uncomfortable.

Materials: In a Montessori environment, parents should prioritize finding materials such as wood, rattan, metal or glass. I myself have tried to use a mixture of all the ingredients that can be found in the house.

 Cost: Because children are often aggressive when working with materials; Moreover, they also often get bored quickly when they get a little older. Therefore, parents should find cheap things to make Montessori materials for their children.

How to apply Montessori at home economically and effectively

 Tray: This is my favorite and probably the most versatile. All sizes are available. The large tray is ideal for art or puzzles. Small tray for keeping small toys organized. The tray also gives children easy access to bathroom items and kitchen food.

When looking to buy trays, try to find ones with handles. Try to find the ones that are easiest to use. Also, avoid using trays that are too large or too heavy. Rattan trays can be a great alternative because they are lighter than others.

Baskets: Baskets are ideal for storing loose items of all sizes. Parents can use them to hold stuffed animals, lego, wooden blocks and more. The basket also makes it easy for kids to get to their socks and underwear.

In addition, the basket is also very convenient to store children’s toys. Because baskets are lightweight, babies can pull them off the shelf without hurting themselves, and using baskets is also a good way to teach children to put things back in place.

Baskets are the easiest thing parents can buy cheaply. But parents note that there are many types of baskets with different qualities. Parents should look for sturdy baskets of all sizes.

 Wooden bowls: Bowls are used for small jobs. Small bowls are ideal because they can be grasped well and look very pretty. Parents should not use large bowls because large bowls are often too heavy for children to use.
