Think & Toy: Infant Bundle
Montessori Toy Bundle for Baby’s First Year
This bundle was designed for busy parents who don’t want to spend hours researching the best Montessori toys for their infants. It includes both the 0–6 month and 7–12 month play sets in one convenient package, making it easy to support your baby’s development throughout their entire first year. Unlike subscription models, each set can still be purchased individually at the same price—this bundle simply offers both together for added ease. We created it after noticing that many parents who bought the 0–6 month set returned later for the 7–12 month one, so we combined them to simplify your journey.
Let customers speak for us
from 19 reviewsFound this small Canadian brand that sells montessori play sets at the baby show Toronto . I was blown away by how they only have 2 boxes for 0-12 months but managed to include all the classic Montessori toys in it . My baby loves to play with all the toys and the quality is very good and its very affordable
  My husband discovered this Canadian-owned company on reddit and ordered the infant bundle. I was so impressed, the package arrived the very next day! ( we live in Whitby, outside GTA) The presentation was beautiful and the toys are absolutely perfect. Both boxes include all the essential Montessori toys we need for our baby. The quality is excellent and I really appreciate how developmentally appropriate each item is. Our 5-month-old is currently using the 0–6 month set and loves every toy in it!
  As a new parent, I’ve been so impressed with the Think and Toy playset designed for babies between 0 to 6 months, and our daughter loved the Montessori-inspired toys!
The materials feel high-quality and safe, which gives me peace of mind. We also own a competitor's set that was gifted to us, and the build quality and set are similar. 
Each toy has a purpose—whether it’s encouraging tummy time, developing grasping skills, or stimulating visual tracking - use of these toys is outlined in detail in the accompanying manual.
What we love most is that the playset grew with our baby. Although our baby is now 7 months old, she continues to play with the rattle and loves the spinning wheel. The set has made it so easy not to have to guess what toys are age-appropriate. When we have friends' babies over for a playdate, this set has made playtime both fun and developmentally meaningful!
  I love that this set comes with 8 great toys! It’s meant for 7–12 months, but even my 18-month-old niece enjoys them. The toys are perfect for hitting key Montessori milestones. We follow zero screen time, and these keep my baby engaged. I rotate 1–2 toys at a time, which really helps hold his interest!
  This set in addition to the 0-6 month set is everything you could possibly need for baby's first year of toys to explore. I am an ECE and first time mom who has always loved the Montessori approach. This kit supports all of my baby's new milestones as they begin to do tummy time longer, and sit up. It keeps my daughter so busy and we do a rotation of all these toys, and the 0-6 month kit toys as well as part of our daily routine. The products are such high quality, and super aesthetically pleasing. I love that these kits are not subscription based, Canadian made, and much better priced than other competitors! Overall I love that these toys have all grown with my baby and have served so many different purposes for play and exploration from the newborn stages all the way up to a year. I can only hope that a 1 year and up kit is in the works too!
  I am an ECE and first time mom who has always loved the Montessori approach. This play kit was so amazing for surviving the newborn stage as my little one began to explore. Even now at 7 months we continue to use all the items in this set, and always pack them in our diaper bag on the go as well! I also appreciate that they are safe wood treated items so even if baby chews on it, I am not worried! The products are such high quality, and super aesthetically pleasing. I love that these kits are not subscription based, Canadian made, and much better priced than other competitors! I immediately purchased as a gift to another mom friend as well! Definitely reccomend.
  I just purchased this set for my baby for Christmas, after being gifted the 0-6 month set at my baby shower, which I absolutely loved. It arrived in just one day, and I couldn’t believe how many toys came in one box! I honestly don’t need to buy anything else until my baby turns one. I highly recommend this to all new parents—it’s a total lifesaver!
  I got to visit their booth at the Toronto baby show. I got really impressed by the story behind the brand . I loved that how they are not subscription based and don’t sell a box every 2 months. I bought the 7-12 months play set for my 9 month old niece and she loves it. She is obsessed with the object permanence box. The wood seems very good quality and all they toys are very well made. I have already ordered a 0-6 months to gift my friend for her baby shower.
  I got their 0-6 months box from the baby show. It was an amazing price for everything that came in the box. My 3 month old is already playing with most of the toys. I love the design of the self standing black and white cards. The quality is amazing and its a must have for all the new parents looking for a montessori play set.
  Its a perfect toy that I purchased for my daughter. Love how it keeps my 5 month old busy, she is loving her kit.. i love the fact that 0-6 month old kit has all the things a infant needs for there developmental growth.. i did not have to shop around for all these different toys. Thank you for making shopping Montessori toys so easy.
  I’m thrilled with the Play Set for 7-12 months from Think and Toy! The quality of the materials is exceptional—durable enough to withstand countless play sessions and beautifully crafted wood pieces that also look great in any play area. My son received it when he was just 7 months old, and now at 8 months, I’ve already noticed an improvement in his engagement and motor skills. It’s wonderful to see him interact with the pieces and develop new skills as he grows with the play set. I’m glad these play sets are being offered here in Canada. Highly recommended and worth the investment!
  Brilliant idea and execution! Thank you for creating something Canadian! Super fast shipping!
  This was such a perfect toy kit for my daughter. This particular kit has everything a child needs during the initial developmental stages of her life. It keeps her entertained for a while. It also saved me good amount of money as I didn’t have to buy multiple toy sets to meet her developmental requirements.
  I loved this play set, it has helped to keep my baby busy and made playtime so much fun. I always wanted to me a Montessori mom but was overwhelmed to see so many options for wooden toys in the market. I also did not want to overdo it. This set has 8 toys and its perfect for our kallax shelf. I love that it contains a full set of blocks that I see my baby playing for a long time . The quality is amazing. I love the instruction manual as it explains the importance of each toy and how to play and for a novice like myself it’s a blessing.
  I purchased the 0-6 months play set for my son, I was quickly impressed. He absolutely loves playing with all the toys, the interlocking disc and wooden rattle makes nappy changing a breeze! I believe this play set has really helped my son develop skills quite early on, he discovered his hands very soon after I introduced the soft scarf tissue to him daily, and is already starting to spin his drum at 5 months! I recommend this play set to everyone! It is quarter the price you will pay elsewhere in subscription based Montessori toys and you are supporting a small Canadian business!

                      Why Montessori?
                    
                    
                  
                  Montessori is an educational approach developed by Dr. Maria Montessori that focuses on a child-centered method of learning. Its principles include child-led learning, a prepared environment with specialized materials, hands-on experiential learning, mixed-age groupings, teachers as guides, and utmost respect for each child's individual development and pace. This approach aims to nurture independence, curiosity, and holistic development across various domains in children.
The Montessori approach to play prioritizes self-directed exploration. Children engage in purposeful activities using specially designed materials that encourage independence and skill development. This method values a child's freedom within a structured environment and respects their individual pace and interests, fostering learning through hands-on experiences.
Playing with Montessori-inspired toys in the first year of life supports infants in developing essential skills. These toys promote sensory exploration, enhance motor skills, and foster cognitive development. They're designed to encourage independence, using safe materials and adapting to a baby's changing abilities. Additionally, they facilitate bonding between parents and their little ones, creating a nurturing environment for holistic growth and learning.
                    
                    
                      What makes a toy Montessori inspired?
                    
                    
                  
                  Montessori-inspired toys are designed with specific principles in mind, aligning with the Montessori educational approach. These toys typically have certain characteristics:
- Purposeful Design: They are created to serve a specific educational or developmental purpose, aiding in skill-building or sensory exploration.
 - Sensory Stimulation: Montessori toys often incorporate various textures, colors, and shapes to stimulate a child's senses and encourage exploration.
 - Open-Ended and Self-Directed Play: They allow for open-ended play, meaning children can use them in various ways based on their imagination and interests, promoting self-directed learning.
 - Natural and Safe Materials: These toys are often crafted from natural, non-toxic materials, ensuring safety and providing a tactile experience.
 - Skill Development: They are designed to support the development of specific skills, such as fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, problem-solving, or language acquisition.
 - Adaptability and Longevity: Many Montessori toys grow with the child, meaning they can be used across different developmental stages, ensuring prolonged engagement and learning.
 - Encouragement of Independence: These toys often promote independent play, allowing children to explore and learn at their own pace, aligning with the Montessori philosophy of fostering independence and self-motivation in learning.
 
By encompassing these principles, Montessori-inspired toys aim to create a conducive environment for a child's self-directed learning and holistic development.
