We've been using Lovevery since my son was born, he's now almost 1. I love the convenience of not having to buy the toys individually and have to research what's appropriate for his age. I do think it's a little expensive for the material but the convenience is worth it!

It sounds expensive but when you break it down it really isn’t. You get about 7 toys per play kit. That’s $17 per toy and $40 per month (if you get a box every 3 months). Most people spend more then $40/mo on toys and most of them are plastic noisy toys that aren’t even helping their child developmentally. So if you break it down that way )$120 every 3 months for toys curated for your child’s age and development its not bad.

It’s really not expensive at all. I truly don’t understand how people figure it’s expensive. Am I missing something? I did a cost comparison of similar Montessori style toys. I went and sought similar toys from places like Amazon and Montessori specialty stores, and I found that, in comparison, the Lovevery kit is actually cheaper. Plus you’re saving time, and time is money too. How? You don’t have to research anything. Everything’s appropriate for the child’s age. Though it’s not easily quantified, you’re saving money in that regard too, and I don’t think a lot of people realize that.

@@mayragossettandrade2418the parent instructions are the thing that makes it worth it IMO. I self curated my first daughters toys and she’s just not interested and I didn’t know how to play with her. A lot of the toys I bought are similar to the Lovevery ones. But without proper guidance they were a waste of money. I got the Charmer play kit for my second child and wow, I didn’t know a 2 month old could play with toys! So the play guides are the real value in the kits IMO. Cranky I would pay a couple of dollars for them even if I don’t have the toys. They’re basically a cheat sheet for where your child is at developmentally. And having spent waaaay too much time reading about child development… if I had the guided early on, I wouldn’t need to do all the reading.

My son is 7 months old and I had heard about Lovevery when I was pregnant but chalked it up to being too expensive or just a gimmick, but when he turned 6 months old and I started looking more seriously into Montessori, I decided to get the play gym and started a subscription. I got his 5-6 month play kit and my 7-8 month one is on the way (I live in Korea and get my family to ship it to me haha). I absolutely love the company and the play kits are fantastic. My son plays with his play gym and all of his toys every day and he can do new things with them as he grows. The books and cards feature diverse babies and kids and the company is inclusive and works hard to make sure their shipping is carbon neutral and their products are manufactured ethically and sustainably. The podcast My New Life is fun to listen to and their guides that come with the kits are so helpful. I can't wait until he is old enough and I can get him the block set. For someone like me, a new mom new to Montessori, it's definitely worth it, and I hardly buy any other toys for him because I know that I'll get things appropriate for his age in due time with the play kits. Anyone just thinking about it, you can always start a subscription and just get one month to see if you like it and cancel if you don't - but I doubt you will when you see how great the quality and attention to detail is!

If this is out of your budget you can also watch the videos on KZbin and incorporate those same skills and activities into your child’s routine. For example I bought the Melissa and Doug lock house when they introduced a players with locks, a DYI weather calendar, emotions books, I also got my toddler a wooden connect 4 for repeating patterns and fine motor skills, also the tissue box is easy to DYI with a tissue box and play silks.

I am very selective in doing sponsored videos only for products/companies that I personally support, and this is the first time I’ve ever done a full-on product review video for the Montessori at Home series. I get LOTS of questions about this subscription service every single week, so I felt that offering an in-depth review would be something many of you would be interested in seeing. It helps that I genuinely believe in their products (and wish I had known about it a long time ago, for my own girls). Thank you so much for watching and supporting! 🥰💕

Hi Ashley! I’m a busy working mom and your videos are a lifesaver, I’m so glad you talked about Lovevery because I’ve had their subscription for my son to get more of the Montessori type of toys since he was 6 months old, because I’m so busy with work and don’t have the time to DYI, what I’ve bought for him is either from your Amazon Favorites/recommendations or from Lovevery! I always felt a little guilty about that, so I always wondered what you think of Lovevery and when I saw this video... I was so relieved! I honestly love them, so helpful for busy moms and I agree with your comments 100%. Thank you you’ve made this mom feel a lot better!

Thanks for the review Ashley! My first baby will be born in a month and you and your delightful family are a huge inspiration to me. I have been watching your channel for almost two years while on my TTC journey. I’ve watched many of your Montessori videos multiple times! Your straightforward way of presenting Montessori in such a clear, practical manner makes it accessible for newbies and the positive affect this type of parenting has shines out through your beautiful girls! The Hapa Family is a Happy Family! When I found Lovevery, a few months ago I was able to determine for myself the play kits were worth it because I have watched your videos and realised many of the same Montessori toys and activities were included that I had already seen on your videos. They also appeared well thought out and well crafted. It seemed an easy way to bring Montessori into my child’s life in a much easier and more affordable way rather than starting from scratch. I also liked the educational information included for parents so I can learn along with my child. I ended up purchasing all of the kits from birth to 3 years, along with the play gym. I have to say the biggest drawback is that they don’t ship outside the USA. I live in Australia and had to have my boxes shipped to a US friend who will then send them on to me. I just hope they don’t get lost in the midst of the chaos created by COVID! So please pass onto Lovevery that they really need to start an international shipping program if they truly want to grow their company!

Thanks for this video. And thanks for all your great content. We have a son who is Mia's age (born March 8). We diy'ed or got cheaper versions of a lot of the Lovevery baby stuff. But we just started the Toddler kits when he was 14 months. I have a tip for people considering Lovevery- the age ranges are good to consider but also think about your child's interests and abilities. We got 3 of the Toddler kits at one time (because I'm a crazy person..lol). There are a couple things in the Babbler (13-15 month kit) that he is still working on but there's a bunch of things in the "older kid" play kits (Pioneer and Realist) that he's mastered. "Follow the child" still applies. Anyway- thanks again Ashley... from one loving mama to another

I agree, it is more important to look at the overall stage a kit is promoting vs. Just the age. For example, my lo only just turned 4 months, but she is already sitting unassisted and putting weight on her hands during tummy time (skills the 5-6 mo box promotes). I decided to order the 5-6 mo box early and sure enough, my lo was throughly engaged with all but one of the more advanced toys.

Lovevery is great. The quality is really nice and the prices are fair. If they were much cheaper, I would have to question the ethics of the manufacturing, really... The only downside is if you get the play kits along with other products they sell, you get a few repeat items. You get a similar ball, cards, mirror from the play gym vs the kits. One kit also comes with blocks that you don't need IF you are going to buy the block set. Tricky because if you are only planning on buying the kits, of course, you would want those items. The resale value is good for Lovevery, so you can try to make some money back on them.

We only did one box with Monti Kids (level 4) which is equivalent to three Lovery boxes. It is VERY similar to Lovevery, in fact one of the toys was the same except for the fact that Lovevery toy folds down. (Stacker toy- Lovevery folds down) and just in general you get a "softer" feel to Lovevery products.

What I missed in this video was if I could get the toys for alot cheaper if I put the time and effort into researching it or if it is just a bit of money. The box costs over 80€ per box in the first year here in Europe. If I were to buy compairable items and still had to spend 70-75 Euro AND do the research it's totally worth it. But if I could get the items for 30-40 € I'd have a more difficult time to decide. Plus it is always new toys. I'd like an option to get preloved toys in good condition at a lovevery marketplace or something like that.

im so so happy i found your channel!! i have a 3 month old and we've been contemplating buying the lovery kit because we thought maybe it would be cheaper to buy toys every month by searching which ones are suitable for him. however, you definitely made it clear to us that getting the kit is perfect !! im so excited even though we're starting off with the kit at 3 months, we did have the playgym - black and white cards since he was born and loves it !!!

I just received my fourth box. There have been a couple duds but I have noticed my son has gone back to those toys after a couple months and played with it in a new way. I originally got the subscription because I was stressing myself out trying to research proper toys for each stage in learning. I love that it’s sustainably sourced and organic items. No it’s not cheap. However, I felt the guided books and ease of it was worth the money for myself. And everything has been excellent quality. I do wish you could buy certain things separately. I missed out on the tissue box and it still makes me sad because my son rips apart the cardboard tissue boxes I fill with stuff within a day. If you’re thinking about getting them, they have excellent resale value and you may be able to find the box you want for a lower price too. Hope this is helpful for anyone looking more into it.

This looks so cool! I wish I had known about this before as like you I already have most of the toys, I wish that they delivered to the UK haha, the prices seem reasonable compared to like Montikids, which is the reason why I make most of my son's toys. Thanks for informing us about these products, I'm sure it'd make a new mum's life easier ❤️

Oh my gosh I feel so defeated that I didn't know they had this for older toddlers. I bought their playmat when it first came out for my daughter and we -still- have the mat part out even though she's 2.5 years old. It's wonderful. I'm just so sad because, like you said, I put in so much time and energy into trying to find these things and this is a better quality.

Thank you so much, for the review. By the way I have really enjoyed learning so much from your course. With the overwhelming information out there, it had really helped save me lots of hours of research. My 2 question today is, do the lovevery ship to the UK? Secondary, although I have a list of what to purchase at different age bracket (from your course) would you still recommend the lovevery?

Love your channel! You inspired me to implement a Montessori inspired philosophy at home and it has been very uplifting, clarifying and educational for all four in the family! Would find it very helpful with monthly "what's on our shelves" ie the toys on the shelves in rotation. Struggling a little bit with activities for my almost 3 yo.

I'm so glad that you recommend Lovevery! I'm pregnant with our 3rd and didn't start our Montessori journey until my 2nd was born. We aren't totally transitioned because it is expensive. But the stuff and activities I've implemented have been a WIN-WIN! For my 3rd, I am asking for people to contribute to my lovevery registry, so I'm excited to try from the get-go with 3rd baby. Also, I've said this 100x your girls are so gorgeous! Little Mia omg! My grandpa is Chinese, and I think asian eyes (all of them) are so gorgeous! (biased, lol) I love how much Mia is interacting with the kit at such a young age, my son is almost 2 and I feel like I've failed him with his development...like he misses what we used to do when he was younger... It's been crazy this past year...

I’ve bought a few of the Lovevery play kits. They are good overall, but very expensive! She likes most of the toys and they are made well. I think some boxes are worth it while others are not. You can find or make similar toys for less and who can afford to buy new toys every few weeks/months? Plus going outside is best. Yet for special gifts like a birthday or Christmas I like to get a big gift like this (if I can.)

Thanks for sharing the video! I was exactly having hard time to choose in between kiwico or lovevery. I feel kiwico is more tending to scientific side and lovevery is more on the artistic side. By the way, I have been listening the ecourse and it made the course so much easier! Just a small comment that the audio in the e course seems need to be volume up just a hair bit. 😊

Lovevery items are unique and nearly all are only available as kits. If you don't want to spend a lot of time figuring what to get, and haven't already bought similar things, I would say it's worth it. To save money, what I am doing is just getting the kits I really want. I'm also late in the game, started with the 13-15 months kit.
