Montessori-inspired Gift Ideas for Tots & Preschoolers (Sunshine's Wish List)

This post contains affiliate links.

Sunshine's wish list is a little bit different than wish lists of her siblings this year.  It is 100% Montessori-inspired, per her request.  As we have struggled and experimented with how to help keep Sunshine regulated and successful throughout the day, we have discovered that she is at her best when she's learning, the Montessori way.  Whether it be practical life activities in the kitchen, hands on botany activities, or structured language and math learning activities, Sunshine loves them and craves more.
