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’d love win to buy supplies for my youngest kids.
Thanks for the chance.
I like the Animals of North America – Nomenclature Cards from Laughing Star Montessori
I don’t homeschool, but I do a LOT of work at home with my kids and there are so many things here that would be ideal to help me with this.
I’d like to get Tasting Bottles & Tray.
I’ve been fascinated with Montessori methods since my daughter was born…
I have a three-year-old and a one-year-old. I am planning to home school them both, and want to start them out well the Montessori Way with the proper “tools.” We shop thrift stores most of the time, but sometimes the proper nice things are needed even when we can’t afford them.
I’d love to have A Montessori Math book by Trever Eissler and the magnetic periodic table.
I am a teacher and have always wanted to learn more about the Montessori techniques.
My kids are in 3rd and primary at a Montessori school. It would be great to have some supplementary materials to reinforce their learning at home.
I want this for my kids
I’d love to get 24-Hole Hardwood Flag Stand and all continents flags.
I would love to win this for my daughter. We are trying to set up Montessori schoolroom and it would really help getting more Montessori materials.
Thank you so much for the giveaway.
I want the elementary timelines!
This would help with buying a few Montessori items I want for my kids. Let’s teach self sufficiency!
I want to win it for my mom
Montessori Services has the best Practical Life section we’ve come across. The individual materials are excellent quality and the pre assembled activities make it easy for anyone to bring the gift of Montessori to a child they love.
I love the peeling a carrot activity at Montessori Services. My preschooler would love this, I just know it 🙂 !
I love Montessori Services!! Would love 50.00 from there!!
I could really use some new mats, trays, and would like more practical life items, such as water droppers, cherry pitter, small pitcher!!
We love our Montessori school, but since I’ve been off work money has been too tight for tuition. My son is home with me right now until I’m back to working full-time again. He misses the social interaction but also the creative and intellectual stimulation. Until he starts kindergarten in August, I will be setting up different works in our home. Some of these I can make (or hack together) from things I already have, but free supplies would be awesome!
Great blog/site, BTW.
I’m looking to set up a Montessori school/playroom at home and would LOVE the gift certificate to Montessori Services! Thanks for the opportunity!
