What our OT says?
I am not an expert in Montessori teachings, but I have an interest in different teaching and learning approaches, as children differ and different approaches work for different children. Over the years I have learned a lot about the functional activities of Montessori and incorporate a number of these activities into therapy.
Montessori principles recognise that learning through purposeful, hands-on experiences with real-life tools is foundational for children’s development. By engaging in practical life activities, children become capable, confident, and well-prepared for success in all aspects of life. The use of real-life tools plays a fundamental role in fostering children’s development, but why do Montessori principles emphasise this approach:
- Real-Life Application: Montessori practical life activities mirror everyday tasks found in the home and community. Children engage in activities that are meaningful, purposeful, and relevant to their daily lives. By using real-life tools, they learn skills that directly apply to their experiences
- Independence and Responsibility: Practical life tasks (such as pouring, spooning, washing, and dressing) empower children to be self-sufficient. Using real tools cultivates a sense of responsibility for themselves and their environment. Children gain confidence as they master skills essential for daily living.
- Fine and Gross Motor Development: Handling real tools promotes fine motor skills (e.g., using tools for the Busy Bus).
- Concentration and Coordination: Practical life tasks require focused attention and precise movements. Children develop concentration and hand-eye coordination through hands-on experiences.
- Prepared Environment: Montessori classrooms provide a carefully prepared environment for practical life activities. Real tools are accessible, and children can work independently and at their own pace. Teachers guide and demonstrate tasks, allowing children to practice with confidence. This is why the busy bus is perfect for the Montessori classroom.
- Life Skills and Confidence: Using real tools fosters essential life skills such as self-care and environmental care. Children build self-esteem and a sense of competence as they accomplish meaningful tasks.
Let customers speak for us
Excellent product-works so well for my 3-year old and also great for him to cut pieces from the roll

Apologies but in my review below Yvette should read Ezette.
Excellent service from Yvette, thank you. Our grandson loved his Christmas present of the tunnel!
Beautifully made. Our learners are going to have so much fun playing with these
My son loves these, we put them in all his textures to have hum pick it out.
Very interesting for toddler to put together and to learn the different characters
Both my granddaughters aged 1 and 3 love this!
Excellent service, thank you.
I was pleasantly surprised by how engaged my 1year old son was with this toy. He spent so much time taking the veggies out and trying to fit them back into the holes, even testing out different ones. It kept him busy as he packed the veggies in and out repeatedly. It's a simple yet clever toy that holds his attention for longer than I expected. Highly recommend it!
The variety of activities keeps my 1 year old son entertained and engaged. I love that it's not just fun but also educational, helping him with fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and problem-solving. The quality is fantastic, and it's sturdy enough to handle the rough play of a curious toddler. It’s definitely a toy I’d recommend to any parent looking for something that can grow with their child!
