[@sydneybailey5522]

I would love a video about Montessori toys/activities you can make at home without having to buy much. As great as these toys are and as wonderful it is to watch Mia play with them and learn about them, the prices can add up!

[@Derlet30]

Agree 100%. Creativity makes for meaningful toys and memories.

[@sjcooks3664]

I agree. I've been buying them second hand

[@maisie1120]

aliexpress all the way!!

[@lashawendaeley4790]

They look like lovevery toys

[@elainabarton]

Anyone else here not even close to being a mom anytime soon but is in love with every video?!

[@HapaFamily]

Haha, you’re too sweet! :)

[@elkenorton6715]

Yes! I am not a Mum (maybe, one day?) But I am interested in becoming a Montessori early childhood educator and these vids are inspiring me/helping me so much to realise this :) Thanks again Ashley, truly inspiring and educational content! Much love from Melbourne, Australia 🐨

[@aaronlim5628]

Yes! I will never be a mom, but hope to be a dad one day!

[@antrazexplorations]

Me! ✋ I'm not a mom but a professional montessori educator.😊

[@laurendavey9448]

I like to watch baby videos to get ideas of what I can do with my six month old brother! I don’t think it’s weird 😂

[@mayali3919]

I don’t even have kids, but the information you provide about the growth and development of children with things like the toys they play with is so fascinating

[@valisesgourmandises2571]

Great ideas! My 7mo LOVES my plastic measuring cups and spoons. She crawls through the whole apartment with them 😂 You really don't have to spend a lot of money to entertain a baby!

[@cawilliams1980]

I’m a first time dad with a 8 month old girl. I really love this video. You have given me lots of options to help educate my daughter.

[@susanzahn812]

As a Montessori teacher and new grandmother, I really appreciate you clear videos. I'm sharing with my daughter. Thank you!

[@joygim1648]

Oh, Mia sits well now :) It's so good to me watching her development. I have 7 months old daughter and she likes sittng in these days and playing with toys. (I'm living in South Korea)

[@derickwilliams2195]

Forgive me if all I do is to look at the adorable little girl. My cuteness overload for today. She is beautiful. Thank you for sharing her with us. Blessings 💖

[@lotte90]

Your videos are livesavers!!! I’m trying to take notes everytime to improve my knowledge!☺️

[@Kelsey-xr8fg]

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experiences. I'm pregnant with my first child and it's very reassuring to have a head-start on their development :)

[@yanirakleinsasser1972]

I’ve been following your videos and watching everything and applying them to our baby. She’s 6 months and very advanced, her doctors (she has 4 because she had some medical problems) all tell us how smart and advanced she seems for such a young age. She’s already pulling herself up and trying to walk and is extremely smart. She’s eating solids now and is just a gem. I think it has to do with me following so many of your suggestions 😊 so thanks for introducing Montessori to me!

[@lee4094]

I just want you to know that I have been following you for a few months now and I just think your channel is wonderful. As a new mom you’ve opened my eyes to many new things thank you. Keep your channel up I will continue to follow your channel and beautiful family.🙏🏼

[@elkenorton6715]

Love your vids Ashley! Thank you so much for contributing such thorough and thought provoking content! :)

[@decor4serenity740]

I have watched this video more than 10 times, my daughter falls in this age bracket and I use to watch this video over and over again to kinda brush up my knowledge. Thanks a tonne.

[@yuma00011]

Thank you for this! My daughter just turned 7 months and I have been looking for new things to do with her. These are great ideas! Great video 😊

[@bandhagibajaj7031]

These are my favourite videos of yours, Ashley! They’re so fun to watch and see her learning and growing

[@Dreyanasmilesalot]

I’m so happy I’ve come across your videos! My baby boy is 7 months and I wish we would’ve started Montessori sooner! So far he’s loving everything

[@emilyterpening5598]

Your Videos have been priceless to me!!! Thank you so much for making them and sharing your family with us 🥰

[@hillaryk4795]

Coming back through again watching these because I have another little one and Mia is just so cute ☺️

[@The_C_Word]

Walmart is having a sale on those textured balls on their website if anyone is interested. I just bought them a few days ago! I really appreciate this video as my baby just turned 5 months today!

[@berrypatch5583]

Thank you so much for this series! My sweet baby is almost 6 months and I am planning her Christmas list and now I have some great options...thank you!

[@msemka86]

She’s so cute! Love her eyes and smile 😁

[@alicec2830]

My 6 months old spits up so much I could never let her play on a shagghy rug like Mia. Thanks for your videos Ashley, I always like them a lot

[@euenfheiejrj]

Haha same! My husband and I bought a white fluffy rug for the nursery before he was born. That was dumb and ended up getting a house of noa playmat that can easily be cleaned up.

[@reemhermiz4588]

Thank you so much for all of this. Loving your content and implementing it. Just ordered Maria Montessori's book, and I'm excited to delve into it.

[@iXChels]

I absolutely love this video, my daughter is a busy body, she's very close to walking on her own, and I'm so happy to find things to buy to develop

[@MugglesUnited19]

As a stay at home mom I'm LOVING these videos super helpful as I try to structure our days for her sake and mine sanity LOL

[@Mary-pw1ki]

So much fun to watch Mia play! Excellent way to demonstrate the products

[@saragabr9000]

Im so thankful and glad for every video you post in your channel providing us with these information and sources, thank you from the bottom of my heart i have been working with my little baby following your 3-6 month video and I have already started introducing the 6-9 toys , he is 5 month now , your videos are treasure

[@ac3562]

I would love if you did a video on Montessori and minimalism! Like how they relate and any practices you adopt from both

[@janedacunha4160]

I love this video! I’ve been looking into getting toys as such and those are the ones that I was hoping to find! Thanks for the ideas!

[@michellecortez38]

I wish I would have know more about this. Before having my baby. Oh well never to late thanks for the Info and Tips💕

[@euenfheiejrj]

I have a lot of this stuff from my lovevery box so that’s perfect! Our little one is 6 months but adjusted to 5 months since he was early.

[@SabrinaTrudeau]

I'm due in March with my first and all your videos inspire me so much! I'm also a hapa baby myself and your babies look like me when I was younger! Thanks for all your videos! :)

[@learningthroughplaywithkay3597]

Just want to say that I find all your videos really helpful. You have some fab ideas, that are so simple and affordable x

[@tluz7059]

So happy I found your channel! My daughter just turned 9 months and with Christmas coming up I want ideas for practical “toys” to get her not a bunch of light up overly unnecessary plastic toys.

[@lbwyland1712]

Thank you for the wealth of information in the links you provided. Doing a baby registry and your Amazon storefront saved me lots of time! 💛

[@WithoutVlogs]

I can’t get enough of your videos, especially the montessori ones. Thank you for making them! :)

[@samararivera1374]

My baby is not even close to this age yet lol. He is only a week and 4 days old. But I'm glad I have these tips for when he does get older. And really did enjoy this video.

[@shivira]

Wow, thank you! This was the most helpful videos on Montessori play that I w come across! Thank you for sharing!

[@lesliecarnes8775]

Love your channel! I am a retired preschool teacher and I will be taking care of a family friends 6 month old baby. I am so happy for the inspiration! Thank you!

[@meepmorp99]

I'm watching baby videos cuz it's never too early to educate yourself for the sake of your future children.

[@YitianTheSword]

this vid is exactly what im looking for! It seems you pay a lot of attention to your kids' growing up, good work!

[@maudedeseperer]

Probably the 5th I've watched this video serie. Yet, the first time with a baby at the right age.

[@caraleege9530]

I have a 5 month old so this came out at the best time!

[@m3093a]

Thank you so much for your videos and lots of love from Germany. First of all I love your family and seeing your two little sunshines grow and learn is so awesome. Your videos are so informative, accurate and helpful and besides that just beautiful to watch. From a kindergarten teacher perspective I can only say thanks for the great information for lots of families♡

[@Playing_with_a_Purpose]

I scored that pop up toy at a garage sale a few years ago! Fantastic toy!

[@cinland86]

Another amazing video!!! Thank you Ashley!!!!!

[@Dayshaaa777]

Omg thank-you for this video!!! My baby is 9 months Saturday and I’m planning on transitioning him to full on Montessori.

[@alaskalavender3474]

Soo helpful!! So glad you are back we missed you ❤️❤️

[@Sirbroh]

[@kumarkumaran7367]

U are so great mother.. 😚 ur videos giving boost for me to growup my kids. Thanks to god to get ur channel.. im immpressed sooooo much dear.. god bless u and your family.

[@angelinearnaud3459]

Thank you from London, my baby just turned 6months very useful video 😄

[@TheJoofie]

Hi Ashley, I love all your videos and I look forward to them every week. Your explanations on the Montessori approach is so easy to follow and understand! I am fascinated by how much Mia and Kylie are developing. They are super cute! 😍 I had a question about introducing these toys at 6-9 months. I have a 9 month old baby girl who loves putting everything in her mouth. I introduced the pop up toy and the wooden ring stacker toy to her but all she wants to do is suck on the sticks, the pole, or chew on the rings, and I am terrified that the pole will accidentally poke her in the eyes while she is exploring it even while I’m supervising her. Did you have those same concerns while Mia plays with the pole and wooden rings? I tried showing her how to play with the toys but she just wants to suck on the pieces (the eyes are already rubbed off the sticks on the pop up toy). How and when did you get Mia to focus on learning to play with them and do you allow her to have independent play while playing with these toys or are you always supervising them with these toys? TIA!

[@tracyjames4386]

Your videos are some of the most helpful! Beautiful girls!

[@meganc3090]

Giving me great ideas for Christmas gifts for my baby! Love your videos.

[@vvvvviiivvvv]

Thank you so much for the advice! My son will be 6 months next week. Excited to get him some new items to help his development.

[@gaara.wifeyy]

I love how you put these in order!

[@VioletRaya]

Omg!! Your baby looks like a little doll 😍😍😍

[@ashleyschoppe7665]

I am so lucky my daughter is 2 months younger than Mia! Thank you Ashley, you inspire me so much, I love your videos!

[@boulevardsofeva2556]

love love love this video! awesome toy ideas!! quite sad that non of the softplays, that we attend to, have these toys! just the usual soundmaking, flashy, bouncy-chair sort of games.... THANK YOU FOR THESE TIPS!!! Xo from London

[@pre-kdivertido3198]

I’m a pre-k teacher! Love your ideas 😍

[@kayjhoselin]

Cutest baby🥰🥰🥰🥰 thanks for sharing these activities!

[@DTM-Books]

This video is perfect for my 7-month-old. Subscribed immediately. Thanks!

[@reneeflores6833]

Look at Mia go!! Great trunk control!!

[@grace-hl3ow]

You are doing a great job. Thanks for educating

[@TatyanaRafeel]

These ideas are great, thanks for sharing!

[@heatherhughes9246]

Can you do a Montessori on a budget video?? I love all these items but I don't have the financial means to spend $40+ on a single toy 😩

[@charlottequinney4077]

I have a sharp sorter from ikea that my 7 month old enjoys. He just takes the pieces out of the box atm but I can see how he will be able to enjoy it in different ways. It was about 10 euro. Xxx

[@lizzyhouse]

Lovevery has a subscription box for the age of your baby, and has so many of these toys in the boxes. It's about $36 a month which is a pretty great deal.

[@GingaByteTV]

I diy a lot or check amazon for mock toys(not name brand but the same materials) you can get things like wood blocks/balls, items for sensory boards, etc for cheap. Also check dollar tree for items to make sensory toys/activities

[@ickuck5830]

There are buy/sell/trade Montessori material facebook groups you can join for your area for used toys. Also, you can thrift similar items or make things. I did some play with my daughter today of apples, bananas, oranges, in a basket. They're easy for her to handle but she can't actually eat them. Idk. I'm on a super low budget too.

[@toddlertastetests166]

We're very low budget too and have found some wonderful wooden toys in our local charity shops. I also have a friend who I do toy swaps with on a regular basis.

[@deannalazaro4976]

I think your channel name had a missed opportunity - “Mom-tessouri” 😂😘 Your channel is amazing, thanks for these great ideas! I have a 9 month old and I’ve watched a few of your videos now for play/exploration ideas.

[@MMess-ds4rh]

[@fannykiki]

I love all of these and would love to introduce them to my daughter who is 10 months but every single item you've shown would go in her mouth.

[@ppau-]

My baby is soon 11 months, so she's always a bit ahead of Mia. 😅 But I get so many great tips from you still, so thank you! 😊 And greetings from Finland! 🇫🇮

[@nadjakari1752]

Hey!!! Do you know where I can buy these Montessori toys in Finland?
