Many of the products on our website and in the catalogue are designed according to scientific teaching principles. They are teaching aids, not toys. They must be used under professionally trained adult supervision.\r\n\r\nOur products include educational Montessori materials as well as child-friendly educational toys. Montessori materials are teaching aids and not toys — they must be used under adult supervision. Toys in this category are designed for play but still require appropriate care and supervision.\r\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Heart of Montessori Learning\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\nIn Montessori education, the importance of learning is not found only in the materials, but in the way they are introduced. The true magic lies in the prepared adult, the prepared environment, and the respectful relationship between adult and child. When this relationship is built on trust, respect, and authentic love, the child feels safe and inspired to explore. As Dr. Maria Montessori explained, it is through this deep connection that learning is joyfully and naturally absorbed. Montessori called her approach an “education for peace” — nurturing not only knowledge and skills, but also compassion, understanding, and respect for self, others, and the world.","brand":"A2Z Montessori","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47628272140541,"sku":"GE40161","price":139.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0694\/8274\/2013\/files\/GE40161-The-landmark-continent-box-scaled.jpg?v=1780289543","url":"https:\/\/www.montessoriathome.com.au\/products\/montessori-landmark-continent-box","provider":"Montessori At Home","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
