Montessori Wooden Farm Toys 12–18 months 🌳
Description:
This wooden farm play set brings simple Montessori ideas to early years play, helping toddlers practise sorting, counting and imaginative role play while exploring colours and animals. It is compact enough for floor play and designed for babies from around 12 to 36 months who are beginning to manipulate objects and learn through hands-on activity.
Key Points
The set combines a small wooden base with a selection of vegetable and animal blocks to encourage fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination. Bright painted pieces make basic concepts like colours and matching easy to introduce during short supervised sessions. Parents can use the included play map to guide simple activities such as naming animals, matching shapes and practising one-to-one correspondence.

Benefits
The toy encourages early cognitive development through repetitive play and simple sorting tasks. It supports vocabulary building when caregivers name animals and vegetables during play, and it strengthens small hand muscles with grasping and placing actions. The wooden construction tends to be heavier and steadier than plastic alternatives, which helps pieces stay put during play and makes the set feel tactile and natural. 🌾
Colourful, recognisable shapes also offer a gentle introduction to pattern and sequence. For little ones practicing counting, the separate blocks make it straightforward to count up to ten and to create short matching games. Play sessions can be quick and focused, which suits toddlers with limited attention spans.
Usage Recommendations
Use the play map to set up short games that mix guided learning with free play. For example, ask the child to "plant three carrots" or "find the cow" to combine language with motor tasks. Supervise all play for children under three, particularly during sorting activities, and rotate pieces with other simple toys to keep interest high. 🐮
Consider that painted wooden toys need gentle care. Wipe with a damp cloth and avoid prolonged soaking to preserve the finish and colours. According to the manufacturer, adult supervision is recommended for young children while they handle small blocks. 🎲.
