Research has shown us that the early years of human life are an opportunity like no other. The human brain is capable of great feats, growing connections like nothing you have seen. 

At 3 years of age, the toddler in front of you would have 200 times the synapses (information) than your brain. The Montessori toys should be then seen as an opportunity. These learning toys can enhance the brain’s structure. The more positive experience your child has with an educational toy, the better. Both positive and negative experiences can affect your kid’s brain development. 

We hope that with things like the Montessori shape sorter toy by Gili Toys you can help your child’s brain develop faster.

Brain development in the early years is sensory first and then motor learning starts later.

Sensory development is easily the fastest event that is taking place when a baby plays with a toy. You can see that this sensory development of 5 senses specifically via Montessori newborn toys. 

Taste and smell senses are not included in this section because toys have no relation to both. 

Sight

Sound/Listening

Kids start with staying alert to their mother’s voice because they identify it the most from their early life. Next, the young children start to listen and identify the sounds that they hear in their environment. This will help them learn the meaning of different sounds. 

Touch/Tactile

Children learn what different things feel to their touch. This helps them know the things that they can touch and the things they need to avoid touching. 

Self/Body Awareness

Babies become aware of their presence in space and the direction of movement. They develop the sense to move according to where they want to move. Over time, the fine and gross motor skills get better.

Balancing

This sense allows them the ability to move easily over time in relation to their weight; helps stop them from falling. This sense develops with toys that allow movement of the whole child.
