Here are links to the Montessori Services materials I’ve reviewed (updated in 2017).
Disclosure: I was never required to write a positive review for Montessori Services, and any opinions expressed are my own. This post contains Montessori Services affiliate links (at no cost to you).
From the time I was a Montessori teacher in the 1970s and owned a Montessori preschool in the 1980s, Montessori Services was always one of my favorite Montessori suppliers. Almost all my school’s rugs and trays were from Montessori Services along with a number of practical life activities and card materials. I was never disappointed with Montessori Services as a school owner or Montessori homeschooler. Almost all the materials were in close-to-new condition after years of loving care by young children.
Since I’ve started blogging, I’ve hosted three Montessori Services reviews and giveaways. Like before, I’ve never been disappointed with the quality of Montessori Services materials. Be sure to check out each of my review posts to find out more about some of the Montessori Services materials that are wonderful for schools and homeschools. Parents using Montessori principles at home will also find much to offer through Montessori Services or its partner site, For Small Hands, which specializes in child-size tools and materials for families.

I would love to win since I have a 7, 4, 3 and 2 year old at home. We could make good use of some new products!
hmmm…i need to pick just ONE item i like? well, first up on my current wishlist is the language objects!
I would LOVE to win this! We buy most of our materials from Montessori Services, and with 4 girls doing Montessori at home, $50 towards new materials sounds heavenly:) …and I already have my wishlist ready! Thanks!
Montessori material is like having the best tools for gardening the most precious work of art- for me my 2 and 4 year olds. It will be awesome to get the give away!
For the extra entry, we could really use some wavy choppers at our house! Thank you! 🙂
Checked out the catalog…we are in love with the yard and garden activities! Maybe the watering plants activity or the worm vue wonders? Hmm…
What a great giveaway! I’d love to win because we will be doing Montessori full time next year with our 3 year old (and 18 month old)…and quite possibly homeschooling our 6 year old.
I’d love to win because the Montessori materials I’ve kept from when I worked at a Montessori 20 years ago are finally wearing out, and I’d love to replace a few.
I have just started back to teaching preschool. I am implimenting some Montessori activities into my classroom but could really use the funds to add more. I currently am finding things at second-hand stores to substitute other items. Thank you for doing this!
I’d love to get some more materials for my boys!
I have been trying to get my boys into a Montessori for almost 3 years now. Space is sooo limited and realistically it is unlikely that they will get in at this point. I recently decided that I can do this at home and have begun to transform my homeschool materials. This gift card would definitely come in handy. Thanks!!
I would love to win this gift certificate because I would love to help supply my child’s classroom with a new montessori item. They do so much for my son and I think they would really appreciate it!
I would love to win a $50 gift certificate to Montessori Services because I have purchased products from their partner company For Small Hands and the products were made with great quality materials and my son has been able to enjoy more practical life activities because of the child sized tools . I would love to expand my son’s montessori home environment with more great quality products!
I am a past Montessori classroom assistant and all that I witnessed and took part in there has inspired me to now homeschool the Montessori way with my own children. I am currently working on buying materials and the gift certificate would be such a blessing as it would allow us to buy some much needed items! Thank you for the chance to win!
Pouring activities and trays, baskets, boxes, etc… are needed here!
I am homeschooling my preschooler and I’d would love to win this giveaway!
Not sure what I would get but all the products looks great!!
Would love to win this
Oh and I forgot – I love their tools for pouring and the mini cleaning tools. So practical!
I love their site (and yours!)! I have not yet purchased anything from them but I definitely want to. My 2 yr old is enrolled in a Montessori school and we just love it. I am hoping to win the giveaway as I want to be able to have some of those materials at home for him.
