If you are familiar with the Montessori method, im sure you may have already heard about treasure baskets! I’ve always been a fan of the Montessori method, and lately, I’ve been making a conscious effort to implement Montessori methods at home with my toddler! 

Over the past few months, I have created a few fun and simple treasure baskets for my daughter, and I want to share them with you! These baskets are perfect for busy toddlers and babies on the move. They are super beneficial and promote language development.

The Benefits of Treasure Baskets

Montessori treasure baskets are baskets that contain related objects inside the basket, that you can rotate in and out based on your child’s interest. The possibilities are endless in regards to what you can put inside the baskets. 

Going based on what your child is currently interested in, is a great start when introducing treasure baskets! These adorable baskets are full of treasures that encourage children to use their senses ( smell, taste, touch, see, and hear)

        Best Age For Introducing Treasure Baskets

        Treasure Baskets can be introduced early, believe it or not! The sooner the better in my professional option. I did treasure baskets with my daughter as early as 6 months. I would use teethers or things that I knew were safe. At around 6 months and up, children tend to put everything in their mouths. So I always try to put objects in her treasure basket that are toxic-free, and safe if she puts them in her mouth.
