Montessori furniture like a kids table and chairs is designed not to distract
One of the key aspects of a Montessori classroom is the sense of calm and lack of visual distractions. A traditional classroom will usually be designed to use bright colours and will have a more chaotic feel to it. Montessori furniture is deliberately constructed of wood to blend into the surroundings, whether it is a kids table and chairs, rotating bookshelf or toddler chair. Minimising distractions leads to a calmer educational environment, enabling teachers to engage better with children in group activities.
A Montessori classroom has a comfortable aesthetic, so kids sofas and kids couches are a must
A Montessori classroom uses kids bookshelves and rotating bookshelves to provide easy access to learning materials
A Montessori classroom can often be recognised through its layout which promotes independence for children. Children are given the freedom to develop their own chosen skills. In order to promote this way of educating, it is important that children have free and easy access to all learning materials. Hence why such items as rotating bookshelf or two, plus low-level kids bookshelves are perfect for such a learning environment.
A Montessori classroom has a need for a variety of wooden toddler table and chairs and kids table and chairs
A Montessori classroom has a number of learning areas, unlike a traditional kids classroom which invariably has one. Kids are encouraged to think independently and therefore self-directed activities, hands-on learning and collaborative play are all encouraged to help boost kids’ sense of self. As a consequence, with the varying heights of children and differing activities, a good range of kids table and chairs , as well as toddler table and chairs will be needed.
Child-led learning benefits from the aesthetic of Montessori toddler chairs, kids tables and kids couches
There is no specific layout for a Montessori classroom, just a principal. Natural wooden furniture such as toddler chairs and kids tables with rounded edges to save on unwanted bumps and bruises are the recommended type of classroom furniture. In addition, as all Montessori-recommended furniture is made from wood, you will never have any problems creating that much-needed calming and relaxing environment.
