Montessori favourites at IKEA 2021
Aug 20, 2021 - Montessori , Recommendations - By Carine Robin
Ikea is well-known for being a favourite shop to source Montessori friendly furniture and products.
They update their catalogue at least once a year.
Here are my 21 picks for a Montessori home:
Are you looking for Montessori activities for your child, but you don't have time to make three-part cards and search for printables?
Are you unsure what activities are appropriate? How best to present them to your child?
The Montessori Family box is a monthly subscription box for children aged 3 to 6, delivering Montessori activities directly to your door.
No more searching, printing and laminating!
LEARN MOREFurniture
- Bergig : how verstatile is this book display with storage? One front facing book display shelf, one regular shelf and one big drawer.
- Baggebo 3 tiers shelving unit : this is a metal shelving unit so very easy to assemble and cheap as only £15.
- Chair
- Baggebo small shelf : it's a small unit, only 50x30x80 cm so it would be perfect for a toddler shelf or a small space. In the same collection, the tv bench could be used as a cheap shelving unit.
- Baggebo blue shelf : only 2 shelves but look at that turquoise colour!
- Perjohan bench : I love multi-use furniture. This one is a bench with storage. It could be perfect for the hallway with shoes and accessories stored underneath the bench. In the same collection, they have a stool with storage.
- Poang chair : they have new covers for this chair. A cat one, a dinosaur one, and a neutral beige one. I've been waiting to replace our cover for a while so this is perfect!
Storage and toys
12. Bucket : although, it's not specifically child's size, the lid is a clever addition and could be a useful way to prepare a washing up activity.
13. Rosenhatta Tray: it's a square one, 33x33cm.
15. Child's apron : with more sustainable material and cheap!
16. Hovlig tent : a play tent for a cosy corner.
17. Hostkvall tray : a new rectangular small tray. They have a new pattern every year. Not sure I like this autumnal pattern.
18. Folding tray : I've seen this tray being used as a small work table by @montessori_boo on Instagram. I thought it was good idea when you are short on space.
19. Duktig tea set : a classic with new colours. They also have the cups and saucers and the bowls and plates.
20. Upplivad wooden spoon : cute design that may encourage children to help in the kitchen.
21. Lego storage system: I may buy these new storage boxes and see if that helps my Lego fan to keep them tidy. I think coupled with a bag that transforms into a mat , we might be on a winning combination.
Bonus item!
I forgot to add this one on my pictures!
Hangig label holders with pictures : The labels can be hang on a drawer of maximum 16mm tickness. You can insert any picture in the holder or use the ones provided.
