Christmas stocking fillers

Montessori stocking fillers

Dec 6, 2023 - Christmas , Montessori , Recommendations - By Carine Robin

A member of my Montessori FB group asked recently for ideas of gifts under £10.

If stocking stuffers or fillers is a tradition in your family, here are some Montessori inspired gifts for under £10. These would be the perfect gifts for birthday goodie bags too. I have chosen these gifts as they allow your child to explore the real world through hands-on and purposeful activities.

By the way, this year, we have created a box of Montessori activities for Christmas! Have a look here.

In no particular order, here are my choices: (click on the picture to go to the link)
