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 have been very interested in the Montessori methods, but have not been able to purchase any of the products. This giftcard would give me the chance to purchase things that I think would help my son immensely.
I would love to get True-to-Life Human X-Rays set.
I adore montesorri products. This would be an amazing help for building a montesorri homeschooling program. 🙂
I have just recently decided to be a stay at home mom with my 2 girls (2 and 2 months). I am trying to find ways to teach and be hands on with my 2 year old. My mother-in-law was a Montessori teacher for many years and I would love to get a start with some materials so that I can start using some Montessori principles with my girls.
I have been searching about Montessori and I think it can help my son to improve his speech, and the ideas I find on your blog are helping me a lot
Thanks
For some reason, I’ve always loved the landforms activities. I’d get the Landforms Book Set.
Montessori Services is one of the catalogs I look at and think, “I want EVERYTHING in this catalog!”
There are so many products that I would love to have for my classroom! The gift certificate would be super helpful in buying some new materials! Thanks for the giveaway!
Montessori Services’s materials are reliably of high quality! I am teaching a NEW K-1 Montessori class for a Charter School, and am still building the supplies and materials for the classroom. A $50 gift certificate would be a nice boost for the children–and for me!!
I LOVE Montessori Services and all the beautiful things they sell. We are a small school with a tiny budget, and any help we can get with purchasing new materials is really helpful.
I have twin boys who are 16 months old and would love some items for practical training. Thanks for the giveaway

I would love to purchase supplies for homeschooling my daughter.
I could use the supplies for my children and for my tutoring students.
Love their knitting and weaving kits.
I love lots of items at Montessori Services especially the Birch Geo Board and I would love to use the World Water and Land Cards Kit.
My sons preschool teachers use many Montessori techniques in their classroom and I love them. I plan to incorporate my favorites into workboxes for him in the fall. I have been collecting many items and I would love to win 🙂
I would love to win for my class
I would love to buy more mathematical manipulatives for my son 🙂
I have always loved the products at Montessori Services. I have been volunteering as a parent at a Montessori school for seven years. This is my first year teaching as a Directress. Sadly things break. It would be a great benefit for my 3-6 year olds to have a that beautiful miniature colored glass pouring set replaced and get a couple of other items without affecting our classroom budget.
I would love to win the Montessori Services gift certificate because I work at a fairly new Montessori school and money for materials and supplies has been scarce. I need new trays, pitchers, and basic items still for my class.
