It may not seem like it, but these classic toys can be game changers! Unit blocks were one of the first types of blocks we had at home and the opportunity for autonomy it created for my children was super important. As adults, it’s always hard for us to see the benefit in play but it really is the way children learn! Blocks falling and trying to figure out why, learning balance and shapes, and playing cooperatively together are a few things that come from playing with blocks! @plantoys.usa recently partnered with @dannyjoestreehouse who goes over the benefits of unit blocks in his show and what he’s seen in his own preschool class which has a block corner! We have been loving the amazing quality of the PlanToys Unit block set and always love how the company puts sustainability and safety at the top of their values. . . . #plantoys #dannyjoestreehouse #blocks #toys

I’m embarrassed to admit this, but this is our first set of blocks EVER and it did not disappoint 🫣 It checked off all the boxes ✅ I don’t know why it took us this long to get our first set. The kids wanted to go to the Zoo and they took it upon themselves to build their very own. Truth be told they’re not just blocks. Block play challenges and encourages their creative and problem solving skills one block at a time. It’s a way to form connections, story-telling, cause & effect, teamwork, patience, and perseverance. It brought them together and they played happily for a long period of time! Their imagination was sparked and I was able to get through lesson planning while they played happily together. WHAT!? Yup, no interruptions. . . .

Play is a language. Open ended toys like wooden blocks can help young children to share their stories. Grownups just need to listen, support and guide as needed. I’m very proud to collaborate with @plantoys.usa !Check out my article about the power of wooden blocks on the PlanToys website blog. And watch the corresponding episode on the Danny Joe’s Tree House YouTube channel. PlanToys is currently offering a wonderful back to school deal on all of their wooden block sets.

As adults, it can be tempting to create themed play invitations or highly structured activities. But in Montessori, we recognize that the richest learning often happens with LESS control and an intentional, prepared environment. When children are given simple, open-ended materials, like blocks, they naturally test ideas, solve problems, and build their creativity. Invitations to play aren’t an inherently bad thing, but less is more. Let your child take ownership of their play and learning - it doesn’t have to be complicated. Our role isn’t to script the play, but to provide the environment and trust the child’s process. We’ve added these @plantoys.usa to our block collection and the girls are loving them!

A quick question for parents: Do you know the difference between Montessori and Montessori-Inspired? 💡 Montessori 100% toys are often found in classrooms. They're specifically designed to teach one concept at a time, like texture, size, or motion, typically under the guidance of trained educators. 🏡 Our Montessori-inspired toys at PlanToys bring a similar philosophy right into your home. They encourage hands-on, child-led play using natural materials, helping your little ones build independence, focus, and real-world skills at their own pace. Available soon! #PlanToys #SustainablePlay #WoodenToys #EcoFriendlyToys #LearningThroughPlay #parenting #toddler #parenthood #playbasedlearning #earlylearning #playmatters #invitationtoplay

Building our own fairy tale ✨ 🏰 Fairy tales aren’t just magical stories- they spark imagination, build language skills, teach values, and help toddlers make sense of the world. We are using our Castle blocks from @plantoys.usa in storytelling. I set this up with the blocks grouped together by their shape and color so my son can easily pick the pieces he needs. Block building helps kids understand early math concepts like size, shape, balance and spatial reasoning. Simple wooden block play allows for cause and effect learning. For example, my son realized the towers needed to be stacked with the cylinders and blue pieces to balance properly. He adjusted the build and repeated the same pattern with the other towers. Paired together, block play and storytelling encourage problem-solving, imagination, and social emotional growth. To learn more, read the blog post “One Block at a Time” from @dannyjoestreehouse . We are excited to dive into fairy tales next month in our preschool learning at home.
