Kizfarm Wooden Montessori Baby Toys, 8-in-1 Wooden Play Kit Includes Object Permanent Box, Coin Box, Carrot Harvest, Shape Sorting & Stacking - Christmas Birthday Gift for Boys Girls Toddlers

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!

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. HeheSizes 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!

This is an extremely durable toy that offers many educational opportunities for kids such as object permanence, pattern work, learning numbers and time on the clock, assisting with pincer grasps and fine motor skills, could even teach some colors with it. My little one is 9 months and right now she shows interest in the carrots, shape puzzle, and balls that come with the kit I’m sure she will continue to play with it as she gets older.

My granddaughter and I play with this everyday. The different sizes and shapes definitely help with dexterity and fine motor skills. Be advised though- the small wooden dowels on the lid that hold those shaped pieces can come off . My granddaughter got one off and had it in her mouth. Luckily I was with her and got it from her right away and glued it back in. Just beware!

Perfect to help build fine motor skills and has a variety of different activities

It's like 10 toys in 1. Amazing design.

The media could not be loaded. My daughter loved each of these activities but the quality of this specific item was bad…the changeable wooden pieces that changes the activities would just slide out of place whenever my 1 year old tried to use it. So returning due to the poor quality of the item.

I've bought this item three times, including for my child who loved it. It provided many minutes of entertainment and engagement for him. His siblings loved it too, one of their more favored toys.My two takeaways don't take away from my 5 stars, more observations.1. It may say age one and up, but some of the different options are more advanced. Needed a lot of direction. For example, matching the colored sticks to the correct colored hole. Fine motor skill wise- that was the hardest one for him to achieve, even just getting the sticks into the holes, forget color matching. It provided some frustration and a good bit of scaffolding at first.2. The different option boards tended to pop out more easily over time, which could get annoying after a while. Especially if your child figures out to make it do that lol.
