Hi, I was just wondering if anyone knew where you could get Montessori style toys for a decent price? I'm looking for toys aimed at the toddler age, so things like big wooden puzzles, those toys that have three sticks on a base that hold different colored rings, and things like that.
I've found some on ebay, but even on there they seem rather expensive. I have a feeling that these sorts of educational toys might just be expensive from everywhere...
You can get the wooden toys and etc from Bright Bugs. It is pretty expensive though.
Have a look on the Ikea website, they have a few wooden toys that might be suitable and not too expensive :)
LCB toys and decor AKA as Chatterbox toys has an awesome range of wooden toys and puzzles! (They are on my facebook page and have a website)
check out The toybox online or google melissa and doug their range is quite good and great quality...toybox sells them :)
I second Melissa and Doug. But, yeah, you can expect to pay a fair bit for some of these things.
*EcoToys has some gorgeous mentessori toys and not too exy either
I saw some really beautiful ones at Better Learning in (at?) docklands yesterday, just gorgeous
Even kmart have wooden toys but they are hidden away amongst the plastic!
Yeah I love Melissa & Doug also. They have great puzzles! Really good quality.
I love Eco Toys too!
Thanks ladies! I'm going to check them all out!
A question for those of you that recommended Melissa and Doug... Did you buy them directly from their website? I found some stuff that I really liked, but when I went to pay for them it wouldn't let me select anywhere outside the USA for shipping...
Have seen Mellissa and doug in some shops, yesterday I saw some at toy shop in chadstone.
i get most of mine from the toybox online just so happens she has a store in town here where I live :) also hers prices are fantastic in com[arison to most of the other sites I have seen :)
'Montessori child' have a nice selection :) Hopefully they come back fully stocked soon!
