Best Montessori Subscription Boxes for All Ages from Baby Toys to STEM Kits
Updated by Shannon Ratliff
Parents-turned-educators need all the help they can get with keeping young minds engaged and inspired through
development-friendly books
and age-appropriate toys. Montessori materials such as subscription boxes and playthings are perfect for filling the gap.
What is a Montessori subscription box?
Hands-on learning, collaboration, and self-directed playtime are just a few of the hallmarks of the Montessori method of education. Monti kids are the result of the experiential
educational system
developed by Dr. Maria Montessori. The method has been shown to deepen a child's understanding of academic basics, while building social skills that reinforce empathy. The method includes everything from Montessori schools to Montessori toys that maximize sensory play and
crafts
.
From homeschooling to unschooling, monthly subscription programs that are created by parents and child development experts alike ensure you have everything you need on-hand to engage little minds. Monthly subscription boxes take away the headache of restocking your kits alone.
The best baby and kids subscription boxes for the Montessori method are packed with high-quality wooden
toys
, age-appropriate books, and hands-on STEAM and crafts fit your child's age. Anything that stimulates an imagination, from a preschoolers' with a coloring activity to a grade school kid with an object permanence box, is fair game. We've pulled together the best Montessori-minded subscription boxes on the Cratejoy marketplace.

“First box was a complete delight for the two 3-year-olds in my care. They were completely engaged with the art/science/exploration materials for several hours. The families appreciated that everything included is recyclable. I loved that everything I needed was in the box and I could see them learning as they played. It's just what I hoped for.” – Tyra M.
