Where can you get Montessori books, toys, and child-sized furniture?

Creating a Montessori-aligned environment at home starts with the right materials. Quality matters — look for real wood, natural materials, and items that serve a clear developmental purpose.

For books, start with Maria Montessori's own writings and works by Paula Polk Lillard, who co-founded Forest Bluff School. For materials and furniture, seek out suppliers who specialize in Montessori-specific items rather than generic children's products.

The Forest Bluff community is a great resource — ask fellow alumni and parents in the community feed for their recommendations.
