Montessori toddler activities are especially relevant to me right now, since my granddaughter, Zoey, is 14 months old. I’m having lots of fun preparing toddler activities for my own home again.
Here are some helpful resources for toddlers. (Above photo from my post “Helping Hands Practical Life Activities + Free Printable from Montessori By Mom.“)

How to Prepare a Montessori Toddler Environment at Home
“Setting Up Your Home for Montessori Children” by The Montessori Notebook: This is a lovely new video that has some wonderful ideas for setting up a Montessori-friendly home. It’s by Simone Davies at Jacaranda Tree Montessori (The Montessori Notebook).
I have a category with many posts of practical life activities (including favorite Montessori practical life activities for toddlers and preschoolers) that are easy to duplicate at home.
You’ll find some of my favorite Montessori toys for babies and toddlers, featuring a number of toys from For Small Hands in my Best Gifts for Kids: Montessori-Friendly Baby and Toddler Toys.
You can find some of my favorite CDs for babies and toddlers here: Favorite CDs for Babies and Toddlers {Gift Guide}
If you’re looking for Montessori-friendly toys that will be appealing to toddlers 15-36 months old, they’re in my Best Gifts for Kids: Montessori-Friendly Toys for Toddlers.

Not every idea on this board is considered Montessori-inspired, but I’ve gathered many that are and almost all are Montessori friendly.
