- Open ended toys vs close ended toys is something I've debated a lot about! Are open ended toys Montessori? Can you use open ended activities longer? Do close ended toys keep a kids attention? These are all questions I answer in this video! I go through the pros and cons of open ended toys and close ended toys. I also share our favorite open ended toys for 1 year olds and our favorite Montessori close ended toys.

A Little About Me:
I wanted to create this space so that people who have always wanted a sister and best friend have a place to turn! I create content on lifestyle, Montessori parenting, and motherhood in general! I am a stay at home mom of 2 little boys, I recently moved to Orlando, and I love to share what has worked for me in hopes that it can work for you as well!
Leave me a comment if you have any questions! I hope you join our community so that we can encourage a fun, informative, and supportive space together!
Thanks so much for your support!
Love, Holly

Not to mention open ended toys aren't NOT Montessori! They're not Montessori educational materials, but they absolutely belong in the Montessori home! Glad to see this topic being covered more 👏👏
Yes!! Open ended toys are often misunderstood for Montessori play. Thanks for your thoughts!!
Amazing beautiful work i like your videos ❤💖❤💝💗❤💝💖💗💝👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you! ❤️❤️
Hi Holly I was just reading about this 💜 Loved your Video so helpful especially for someone like Me with a One Year old 🙌🏼 Love the Ideas Thanks for sharing 🦋☺️
Oh I’m so glad you found it helpful! ❤️❤️
Great video!! So informative! ❤️
Thank you! 🥰
I had NO idea that there was an actual name for open vs closed ended toys! I LOVED this video and I definitely need to dig more into different closed ended toys! My daughter LOVES her shape sorter right now!
I’m glad you were able to learn something new from the video!! And yes I would totally encourage more close ended toys! 🥰 the shape sorter is a great one!
Loved this video and some of the points you made/open ended toys you showed were so similiar to what I did in my video. You're so right, sometimes close ended toys get a bad rep but when they're used to master a skill like you explained, they can be so fantastic! We are hoping to start sandpaper numbers soon and I'm so excited!
That’s so fun! I’ll have to check out your video! We don’t have sandpaper numbers but I can think of so many fun activities to do with them!
Thanks for sharing Holly! I loved your approach on explaining both types of toys + why you like both. I have a 4 year old daughter & 7 month old son, so I know this will be very helpful as I continue choosing their toys. ✨✨✨✨
Awe thank you! Both are definitely important to bring into your home! ❤️
Would love to hear more about the activities you have out for your older child. I have a 16 month old and a 3 year old who have to share a play space and I feel like every toy I find that is developmentally appropriate for my older child has too many small pieces (youngest is still mouthing things)
Hi! Those are the ages of my 2 boys! It can definitely be hard to find toys that are safe for a mouthing baby. I would say larger blocks and puzzles are great! I share lots of different toys in vlogs and toy rotation videos if you need more ideas 😊
Hi 😊 dear friend stay connected
Thanks for watching! ❤️❤️
