I’m amazed by your space and I love videos with larger play spaces because even if it’s not possible for a family to do everything you’ve done there’s so much inspiration to pull from here and that’s so important! I think people with larger spaces shy away from sharing their homes because there’s so many negative comments made and that’s a shame because we’re all using the resources we have to be a good parent regardless of whether our space is larger or smaller. I really appreciate you sharing.
Thank you so much for your comment. I am so happy to hear that you enjoyed this tour. I love being able to see larger spaces as well and agree with you in that they offer so much inspiration ❤️ Thanks for watching.
I would never leave a space like this. Forget about the kids 😂 It would be awesome if you would link some of your toys! Do you have a few favorite shops? I have been buying a lot on Etsy in order to get quality items, but you have really hit the jackpot!
I love to organize so I love this perfect playroom...the wooden boxes, wooden everything...the rainbow...the human body omg. This is how toy stores should look (if they even still exist)...it's just too perfect (for kids). And I'm not hating at all bc I love this playroom. With all that space tho I would have to have some sensory swings, rock climbing etc...and maybe some color.
Thank you! Let me know if you need help. It’s so much fun to see a space come to life ❤️ and creating a nice inviting environment for your little one is so special.
This is a beautiful space. Very thought out. I do think it’s important to point out the shear cost of a space like this. Even the best deals, buying used, bulk purchasing, wholesale etc- the value alone is well over 10k (furniture, rugs, art, in addition to consumables + Montessori supplies). Not to mention the hours of research and curating of materials and studying the methodology behind Montessori. For sure a value when you factor in cost of tuition / driving for a school. Again, great job! A true inspiration for Montessori at home. I’m considering taking classes and getting certified so I can properly work with my daughter at home as the closest true Montessori is over an hour away (in no traffic). The cost of certification and supplies- I’d still come out ahead comparing to tuition and the hours we would have to commute. Not to mention selling the high quality durable items when we are done. .
Absolutely true. The cost of certification and supplies is incredibly expensive. But in the long run, it’s time and money well spent in my opinion. You are able to spend time watching your children grow and learn and if you decide to teach professionally later on, you have the option to do so, and if you don’t, the resale value of Montessori materials is really good. I guess it really just depends. Either way, whether you decide to get certified or not, your children will definitely benefit from having you there with them and having your full attention. ❤️
I love that you showed your music and art area! I've unfortunately seen so many people new to Montessori think it is all educational work and no fine arts at all, which couldnt be further from the truth! Wonderful at home set up-your kids are lucky to have a mom so passionate about Montessori 😀
Hi! I noticed that you don’t have your desk area anymore in your new tour? May I ask why? Also, when your youngest was little how did you make sure she did not access the small toys and craft supplies? I have a energetic 2 year old and an active 8 month old. Also, since your homeschool room is not attached to your main house when in your day to you use this space and how long? Do you have set times?
Absolutely amazing spaces 😍 Seriously though, do your kids keep these areas organized (& if so - tell me your secrets!), or are you spending hours cleaning & organizing every night?? I have 3 girls (5, 7 & 9) that I homeschool eclectically with Waldorf/Montessori influences (so have many of your items) and it’s a constant battle to keep our spaces clean & organized 🤪
Both of my babies are organized. The key is to start when they’re young. We always played with one to two activities at a time. While they’re engaged in an activity I don’t care that there are things on the floor. For example if my son is playing with his train set, and peg people and houses at one time and the train goes all over the room…so long as they are playing with it they can do whatever they want with their creativity. Once they are done, they know it needs to be put back. When they were younger I would help them. Now, they both know to place things back so the room is ready for the next time they want to play. They’ve also learned that the more toys they take out, the more they have to clean up, which isn’t as much fun. We also have a “clean up” song that we sing while cleaning up. Sometimes you have to make cleaning fun, especially when they’re little. ❤️
This has been a slow growing process. I’ve purchased materials off of EBay, at Antique Malls, Mercari, Facebook Groups, Montessori Schools, Montessori Manufacturers like Nienhuis that ship internationally. Even Amazon. I mean, I have scoured the internet lol. It definitely wasn’t over night or from one store only. That would have made things so much easier. I’m really happy you loved our playroom❤️ It’s our favorite place.
I work as a montessori teacher and you have that set up for your kids plus the opened ended fun! all of this mud of been very pricy! I love your open ended toy videos as I’m setting that up at home for my two year old, she will be going back to the montessori school so I want different materials at home that is more Waldorf! Thanks for sharing
That’s a wonderful idea. Being able to provide different options and learning experiences is so important. I love that we can provide a more custom learning environment. Waldorf is beautiful. And I do incorporate a few Waldorf materials and curriculums into our space when I feel it suits us more. I would love to see your finished space for your little one. Open ended toys are the best ❤️
Your channel has become my favorite! I love the music and esthetic, such peaceful and happy vibes. ☀️ I was drawn to the spring activity corner! I was wondering where you purchased the life cycle puzzles and if you had any beloved spring books to recommend? I have a 6 yr old daughter and a 17 month old son. I'm trying to incorporate more real life books that educate them such as trees or flowers, for example. Looking forward to the next. 💕
The puzzles are from a brand called Environments. We have a few books that we love. One of them is called The Amazing Life Cycle of Plants. Also, I can Grow a Flower. The Honey Makers, and The Magic and Mystery of Kids. ❤️
Did you take a montessori homeschool course to know what and how to use these materials? If so which one did you take? If not how and where did you obtain this knowledge? I'm hoping to homeschool my little one. Thank you.
When I say I immersed myself in everything I could find that was Montessori, I mean...I’m not kidding. I read books, watched videos, listened to podcasts, took some online classes and even volunteered as a student teacher at a wonderful Montessori school. I was lucky enough to be gifted some wonderful resources from former Montessori teachers and now that is what I use as a guide to teach my children. My advice would be to read as much as you can on Montessori early education practices. I’ll try and do a video soon on some of the things that helped me. I would like to help as many Montessori homeschooling mamas and papas as I can. I know how difficult it can be to navigate all the information that’s out there and even more so, to know how to apply it. How old is your little one? ❤️
@@allhart Wow! You really have done a lot of work in regards to this. Which definitely shows in your videos too. My little one is about to be 2 years old. I was thinking of taking Child of the Redwoods homeschooling course with Aubrey in the fall. I want to homeschool for pre k. For kindergarten, and ongoing, she'll be attending a traditional school, so will be trying to do Montessori at home as much as possible. Cant wait for the video to come out on what helped you with homeschooling.
Hi Shelley. I’m currently working on my website to include a list of items. As you can see, our learning/playroom has a lot of different areas with a lot of Montessori materials so it’s difficult to include every single item in this video. But if you have a specific item in mind I’d be happy to include a link for you. ❤️
The piano has made a huge difference. I didn’t know if my son would take it but he has. I grew up with music so I always hoped I would be able to share that with my children.
Hi. I actually do not have a subscription to Loveevery. I purchased the scale separately because I liked the quality of this one verses others I’d seen. I do believe the quality of the toys are good, but feel that MontiKids has more authentic Montessori toys. But it really all comes down to personal preference and budget. Let me know if you have any other questions ❤️
I have links included in other videos. There are just too many items to list. But if you have a particular item in mind, I’d be happy to include a link for you ❤️
Hi March, thanks for your informative videos. I admire how you're knowledgeable and passionate about what you're doing.Are you a certified Montessori teacher?
Hi Lingxiao. I’m so happy to hear you are enjoying our videos. I have a masters in children’s education and I interned and volunteered in many Montessori schools. I absolutely fell in love with the Montessori philosophy ❤️
@@allhart Sorry for misspelling your name. Auto-correction to blame:) I love how your videos are rich in content, well organized and everything is explained clearly and in detail. I have a Education background too. And I saw you mentioned moving to the east coast. I am in east coast. Hope we can be close:)
I choose activities/toys that I feel would interest them and that I could utilize in more than one way. I love open-ended toys for that reason, as they can be used in so many different way. Sometimes I’ll find items through Montessori groups, EBay, or Facebook marketplace etc, other times I’ll just purchase new through official Montessori stores. Try and choose toys that will help with specific lessons. That brings the sensory element to whatever you’re teaching. Hope that helps ❤️
I’ve been slowly adding to our collection for many years now. It’s definitely not something I could have gotten over night or from one store. It really takes a long time to find the right items at a good price point. ❤️ I’m so happy you found inspiration from this video.
We do have a system that works for us. Every item has a “home” so my children and I know where items go and we can quickly access them which is key. ❤️ we’ve also divided our items into different areas which is also helpful during our lessons 😉
Hi. We actually do own those puzzles. I just forgot to include them In the tour. My latest video highlights some of the activities we do with them if you’re looking for ideas ❤️
If you have both children sharing a shelf then I would suggest placing the youngest child’s activities on the bottom and the older child’s activities on the top shelf. At one year old it is completely normal for them to pull things from shelves. If anything, I would suggest adding activities where she’s meant to pull things and that way it’s a positive activity for her. I would also limit the amount of toys on her shelf so she doesn’t get too overwhelmed. Hope that helps ❤️
@@allhart that's awesome! Do you feel like they ever get bored or are they usually always excited and engaged with the same materials? I ask because I love the idea of leaving everything out and not having to have a separate space where I keep everything to rotate. But I guess it also depends on people's space limitations.
They do. They are so good about putting ALL of their things away after they’re done using them. I have a video up from 2 weeks ago called Montessori Toddler and Kid Activities where you see my 2yr old put away her materials right after she’s done using them. Both of my babies have been doing that from a really early age ❤️
So many different places. Some are from places like EBay, Antique Malls, Mercari, Nienhuis, Montessori Facebook resellers, Montessori Manufacturers that ship internationally...And I’ve found a thing or two on Amazon.
They’re actually a part of another Montessori inspired toy that my children have outgrown. So I just kept the tongs as they’re really great for other activities ❤️
That is most definitely not the intention. Everyone’s Montessori journey is different and looks different. The fact that you are taking the time to watch these videos and gather information for your children makes you the complete opposite of a bad mom. If you have any questions, I am more than happy to help. Your children are lucky to have you. Take this journey slowly, one day at a time, one activity at a time. Being present and observant of your child’s needs is the most important thing. ❤️
You don't need to homeschool and have an amazing collection of expensive wooden toys to be a good mom. I hate videos like this tbh. We need more videos of apartment play areas. Lol
Maria Montessori's first school was in a very poor area and her methods showed that the achievement gap among the children born into poverty and those born into priveledge could be closed....Fast-forward to our society now and the word "montessori" is associated with exclusivity, money & privilege. People think of expensive wooden toys that are aesthetically pleasing, but this isn't even what this learning philosophy is about. Most of the exclusive fancy Montessori schools we see today arnt even following the true Montessori methods. The internet is full of videos and hashtags of "montessori" playrooms, homeschool classrooms but the concepts are wrong alot of the time. There are so many different early learning & development theories to choose from. Waldorf is another one the rich are making exclusive. We can't have anything. Lol
I'm just confused at how your kids don't absolutely ruin the space. I love it it's beautiful but my son would literally dump everything on the floor every single time. I am truly shocked. Your children are saints lop I could not even have 3% of all that out simultaneously. I have to hring things out one at a time. I'm hoping my 6 month old daughter ends up being less crazy !
I would definitely continue as you’re doing. Only bring out a few items at once, show them how they’re supposed to be used. If they’re open ended toys then they can play with them freely. Repetition is key. Then show them where that item is supposed to go at the end of their play time. Every item needs to have a “home” and they need to know where that “home” is. It will take time and effort but it’s worth it. As they start to learn you can add more activities to their areas. ❤️
We are lucky enough to have a wonderfully large space. Keep in mind that these materials and toys are not meant to be used for a period of one year, but are meant to grow with my children as they learn and develop. Many of these items can be repurposed and used in a variety of different ways for many years to come ❤️
I really love your content. There‘s just one thing I find a bit annoying. You label almost everything as „Little“. I‘ve recognized this with other youtubers also and just don‘t feel it‘s a good thing. It somehow says „not Important/just toys/not for real“ etc. I‘m highly confident that‘s not what you want to say though 🤔 maybe it‘s just because I‘m German this subcontext only ads due to translation?
Hi! I noticed that you don’t have your desk area anymore in your new tour? May I ask why?

This looks great but I’m overwhelmed just watching this video
I admire your dedication to Montessori learning for your children. The space is beautiful, functional and totally Montessori!
Thank you so much

I would love to someday be able to include something like that. Maybe in our new space we will 😉 I’ll have an updated playroom video soon. ❤️
This can be a Montessori class for a group of kids. There are so many varieties of educational toys.
Wow! Your kiddos must love their space. Absolutely amazing!
We all love the space lol ❤️ I spend just as much time in there as they do. It’s our favorite room ❤️
:)) this 37 minute video, is this a tour of a kindergarden or this is a home?
Wow! Amazing space and absolutely perfect! Def. Got some inspiration for our spaces in our home. I am a full time SAHM of a 16 month old boy💙
Thank you! Let me know if you need help. It’s so much fun to see a space come to life ❤️ and creating a nice inviting environment for your little one is so special.

One of my favourite playrooms. Can't wait to see how you've organised your new space x
Beautiful place❤️. Every parent's wish to provide such place in the home for the kiddos.
Thank you Pooja. It really is our favorite place ❤️

Do you have a blog or anything listing where your Montessori items are from?

Pls where did you find your body parts puzzle. Thanks
Where did you get the visual recipe cards? I’m having the hardest time finding them!
It's awesome! But how it possible to clean up regularly?such large space and all small toys and stuffs?
My children are very good about keeping their environment clean. Every single item has a home, so they know where everything should go. ❤️
Love the music area! My 2 year old loves music time! Hopefully one day I’ll be able to add a piano! 🤞
The piano has made a huge difference. I didn’t know if my son would take it but he has. I grew up with music so I always hoped I would be able to share that with my children.
@@allhart I grew up playing the piano as well! My grandma taught me and it’s such a great memory!
Can we please move in ? 🤸🏻♀️
This is very beautiful and highly inspiring...I have a 2 year old and I am so inspired with so many of your activities..❤❤
I’m so happy to hear that. Please, let me know if you have any questions. I’ll be posting more activities for the 2yr old age group very soon ❤️
I noticed you have the Lovevery scale. Do you have a subscription to Lovevery? If so how to do like the toys?
Hi. I actually do not have a subscription to Loveevery. I purchased the scale separately because I liked the quality of this one verses others I’d seen.

Fantastic play space! Looks like a Montessori classroom :-). Where did you purchase the felt body parts puzzle?
I actually ordered this off Etsy ❤️

I picked it up many years ago from World Market ❤️
Can you please link all the toys. I want to get all of them for my boys their 2 and 1
omg yay
This is so beautiful ❤️! I got so many ideas from this video. Just curious how long it took you to get all those resources?
I’ve been slowly adding to our collection for many years now. It’s definitely not something I could have gotten over night or from one store. It really takes a long time to find the right items at a good price point. ❤️ I’m so happy you found inspiration from this video.
Wow your kids are super blessed to have so many things to play with. But I must say, I am extremely overwhelmed by so much stuff.
We do have a system that works for us. Every item has a “home” so my children and I know where items go and we can quickly access them which is key. ❤️ we’ve also divided our items into different areas which is also helpful during our lessons 😉
Do you own the zoology puzzles (horse, fish, bird etc) & the insect puzzles? If not just curious why you chose not to get them? Thanks so much :-).
Hi. We actually do own those puzzles. I just forgot to include them In the tour. My latest video highlights some of the activities we do with them if you’re looking for ideas ❤️
What about for. 3 year old and 1 year old. Every room I try to create, my 1 year old just pulls everything from the shelf!!
If you have both children sharing a shelf then I would suggest placing the youngest child’s activities on the bottom and the older child’s activities on the top shelf.

Do you ever rotate anything in and out or are these all your materials and you have them out like this always?
Everything is out at all times. There are only two tables that I rotate out for seasonal lessons or for extended lessons. ❤️
@@allhart that's awesome! Do you feel like they ever get bored or are they usually always excited and engaged with the same materials? I ask because I love the idea of leaving everything out and not having to have a separate space where I keep everything to rotate. But I guess it also depends on people's space limitations.
Great video. You are amazing. Your kids are so lucky. Do you homeschool?
Yes I do homeschool both of my children ❤️
Where did you buy the Ramp?Link pls thanks
Can you specific which ramp you’re talking about? Are you referring to the ball ramp?
@@allhart yes and also the one in the middle of the room with stairs
Do your kids clean up their toys after playing?
They do. They are so good about putting ALL of their things away after they’re done using them. I have a video up from 2 weeks ago called Montessori Toddler and Kid Activities where you see my 2yr old put away her materials right after she’s done using them. Both of my babies have been doing that from a really early age ❤️
Please can we have links to the language and maths area

Hello From MN
How old are your kiddos? I'm just trying to gage when my daughter might be ready for similar materials.
I have a 2 year old and a 5 year old ❤️
My daughter just turned 2, so I was gathering lots of ideas. Thanks!
That’s wonderful. Let me know if you have any further questions. ❤️
Where do you buy your materials?
So many different places. Some are from places like EBay, Antique Malls, Mercari, Nienhuis, Montessori Facebook resellers, Montessori Manufacturers that ship internationally...And I’ve found a thing or two on Amazon.
Where did you get those tongs ?
They’re actually a part of another Montessori inspired toy that my children have outgrown. So I just kept the tongs as they’re really great for other activities ❤️
I like that montisori day my dream montisori but how i bilding one day please helping me
Do you homeschool?
Yes I do ❤️

I love watching your videos but at the same time your videos make me feel like a bad mom😭
That is most definitely not the intention. Everyone’s Montessori journey is different and looks different. The fact that you are taking the time to watch these videos and gather information for your children makes you the complete opposite of a bad mom. If you have any questions, I am more than happy to help. Your children are lucky to have you. Take this journey slowly, one day at a time, one activity at a time. Being present and observant of your child’s needs is the most important thing. ❤️
You don't need to homeschool and have an amazing collection of expensive wooden toys to be a good mom. I hate videos like this tbh. We need more videos of apartment play areas. Lol
Today after watching this video I realize that I’m absolutely BROKE :( I can’t afford a Montessori learning style
Maria Montessori's first school was in a very poor area and her methods showed that the achievement gap among the children born into poverty and those born into priveledge could be closed....Fast-forward to our society now and the word "montessori" is associated with exclusivity, money & privilege. People think of expensive wooden toys that are aesthetically pleasing, but this isn't even what this learning philosophy is about. Most of the exclusive fancy Montessori schools we see today arnt even following the true Montessori methods. The internet is full of videos and hashtags of "montessori" playrooms, homeschool classrooms but the concepts are wrong alot of the time. There are so many different early learning & development theories to choose from. Waldorf is another one the rich are making exclusive. We can't have anything. Lol
Fruits and vegetabels, why made out of wood, why not real ?
I'm just confused at how your kids don't absolutely ruin the space. I love it it's beautiful but my son would literally dump everything on the floor every single time. I am truly shocked. Your children are saints lop I could not even have 3% of all that out simultaneously. I have to hring things out one at a time. I'm hoping my 6 month old daughter ends up being less crazy !
I would definitely continue as you’re doing. Only bring out a few items at once, show them how they’re supposed to be used. If they’re open ended toys then they can play with them freely. Repetition is key. Then show them where that item is supposed to go at the end of their play time. Every item needs to have a “home” and they need to know where that “home” is. It will take time and effort but it’s worth it. As they start to learn you can add more activities to their areas. ❤️
It's beautiful, but it's not a playroom, it's a play HOUSE! My kids could be in there for an entire year and not use all those materials
We are lucky enough to have a wonderfully large space. Keep in mind that these materials and toys are not meant to be used for a period of one year, but are meant to grow with my children as they learn and develop. Many of these items can be repurposed and used in a variety of different ways for many years to come ❤️
I really love your content. There‘s just one thing I find a bit annoying. You label almost everything as „Little“. I‘ve recognized this with other youtubers also and just don‘t feel it‘s a good thing. It somehow says „not Important/just toys/not for real“ etc. I‘m highly confident that‘s not what you want to say though 🤔 maybe it‘s just because I‘m German this subcontext only ads due to translation?
When I mention the word “little” I’m referring to the scale/size of an item, NOT to diminish an objects importance. ❤️
Hi! I noticed that you don’t have your desk area anymore in your new tour? May I ask why?
Also, when your youngest was little how did you make sure she did not access the small toys and craft supplies? I have a energetic 2 year old and an active 8 month old.
Also, since your homeschool room is not attached to your main house when in your day to you use this space and how long? Do you have set times?
