And when it comes to decorating this space, there is no better way than with the Montessori method, which we will talk about in depth below, we will explain what it is specifically and how it can be widely beneficial for your baby.

Montessori Method

The Montessori method is, in simple terms, an alternative way of educating our children, where preference is given to the individual needs of our babies, their abilities and their full development. Montessori is based on the premise that each child is unique, and their needs change over time, so their environment should be aimed at maximizing their development.

Thus, the home becomes the perfect place to implement the Montessori method, and this starts from your child's room.

Montessori Room

A Montessori room follows the vision of the Montessori method, so it is a space where your baby can be as autonomous as possible and where the exploration of their skills is not impeded by a space that is not suitable.

First of all, a Montessori room has to be warm and have enough natural light, as well as neutral and light colors. All this together creates an atmosphere of safety, peace and openness, where your child's activities will be much more enjoyable. Also, toys should be made of natural materials such as cloth and wood, without lights or sounds, in order to increase creativity in play.

Another key element of a Montessori room is that all the things that are for your baby should be within their reach, so that they can reach them themselves. This applies to the bed, having it at floor level rather than raised or closed, but it also applies to other furniture such as drawers, closet and shelves, which should be at their height and not that of an adult.

In addition, the space in the room should be as open as possible, with enough room for your baby to crawl and move freely without hindrance, giving him a safe space to explore. Finally, it is advisable to include an unbreakable mirror so that your baby can begin to observe himself and generate a self-concept.
