Big Kid (5 - 8 years)

These Big Kid toys are designed for children aged 5 through 8 years old, and are built for deeper learning through play experiences.

Big Kids are the talented little ones who have already mastered basic skills and are looking for a way to nourish what they they already know and play with the concepts they've learned. They can work independently or they can work because their communication skills have flourished. They are little scientists who like putting different things together to see what the results. Their imaginations are incredible - and if you sit back and listen, you will have a front row seat to a stories filled with character and spirit. The playthings in this collection are made to develop the growing imagination, writing skills, cooperation, independent play, concentration, problem solving, and imaginative thinking through play. They are open-ended and can be used by themselves or combined with other items to be used in new ways. Big Kids never cease to amaze me in their ability to find new ways play, learn, and grow. Let their imaginations inspire you. No batteries. No buttons. Just the power of creativity.

    Label - Farm - Montessori Word Relation Game

    $11.00

    Just The Words.

    My little one is starting to explore the world of words. She’s beginning to understand that letters are symbols and, when put together, letters make a bigger symbol that means something important. We look at books, read signs, menus, magazines, logos, and coupons. When I was trying to come up with a way to identify important things in her life, and put words to them, I looked to our Make a Match series for inspiration – and Label was born. 


    Each little tin comes with 12 word tiles, written in Montessori font to aid in letter writing and reading readiness.

    Each set comes with:
    12 wooden coins 1.5” in diameter
    A little metal tin.

    *They do not come with the pictures. This is intended to be an ADD ON to the Make a Match Memory Games. Currently Label is available to correspond with our most popular sets.

    When you have Label + Make a Match Game you can use these 12 “labels” at a learning center to match the word to its corresponding picture; making a visual of both the word/symbol pair. More advanced players will enjoy playing the classic concentration game; but, instead of having double pairs of pictures, switch out a set for the Label words and help your little librarian strengthen word recognition and reading readiness.

    All of my creations were made with your little one in mind. Each piece was designed to nurture child development through open-ended play. These pieces can be used to broaden your little one's understanding and knowledge of our world and were created as early educational toys. I am inspired by the teachings of Montessori; the natural beauty of Waldorf; and incorporate a myriad of other learning-through-play philosophies when I design. It makes me smile to see my made-with-love pieces being toted for use as preschool toys and in natural play settings. Thank you for helping me support little minds, bodies, and imaginations through engaging, hands-on play and discovery.

  • DIGITAL | PRINTABLE PRODUCT - Table Talk - Connection Cards - Connection: One Question At a Time

    Mama May i - Handmade Wooden Learning Toys

    DIGITAL | PRINTABLE PRODUCT - Table Talk - Connection Cards - Connection: One Question At a Time

    $19.00

    I created these cards when I was transitioning into single motherhood. Dinner time used to be my favorite family-connection time. But, as a single parent, it became too hard for me to do dinners in this new dynamic. It was filled with grief and big feelings. The physical demands of the witching hour and getting dinner ready simultaneously felt hard. It was easy for me to let my kiddos eat wherever, whenever, even in front of the tv 📺 (Which is something I vowed NEVER to do!) I was feeling disconnected from my family and myself. I knew I needed to do something to RECLAIM our connection but I wasn’t sure how.

    I set out to find something that would help. And then I MADE it. I created this tool to be a PlayFULL ritual - that helped us reclaim our MAGIC and reconnect.

    I LOVE my Table Talk Connection Cards. It has been, hands down, one of the most used and utilized tools in our Culture of Connection Toolbox. I LOVE the physical version - the look, the feel, the texture, and the finish. Buuuuut because I print them in small batches, they can be expensive. I was thinking about how beneficial these cards have been in our life and I wanted to make them:

    a. Accessible to even MORE people - giving as many families as possible the opportunity to use this tool and reclaim their connection MAGIC too

    b. Affordable (🤗they are only $19!!!)💗

    c. Immediate - RIGHT NOW 🙌 You can sign up and start connecting TODAY!!

    💬 90 questions. 90 beginnings of conversation and connection with your family.

    💥 That’s 1 question a day for THREE MONTHS!

    Without further adieu, I would like to give to you, the debut : Table Talk Connection Cards - digital !!!

     

    *PLEASE NOTE THIS LISTING IS FOR AN INSTANT DOWNLOAD/DIGITAL FILE, no physical item will be mailed.

    Label - Zoo - Montessori Word Relation Game

    $11.00

    Just The Words.

    My little one is starting to explore the world of words. She’s beginning to understand that letters are symbols and, when put together, letters make a bigger symbol that means something important. We look at books, read signs, menus, magazines, logos, and coupons. When I was trying to come up with a way to identify important things in her life, and put words to them, I looked to our Make a Match series for inspiration – and Label was born.

    Each little tin comes with 12 word tiles, written in Montessori font to aid in letter writing and reading readiness.

    Each set comes with:
    12 wooden coins 1.5” in diameter
    A little metal tin.

    *They do not come with the pictures. This is intended to be an ADD ON to the Make a Match Memory Games. Currently Label is available to correspond with our most popular sets.

    When you have Label + Make a Match Game you can use these 12 “labels” at a learning center to match the word to its corresponding picture; making a visual of both the word/symbol pair. More advanced players will enjoy playing the classic concentration game; but, instead of having double pairs of pictures, switch out a set for the Label words and help your little librarian strengthen word recognition and reading readiness.

    All of my creations were made with your little one in mind. Each piece was designed to nurture child development through open-ended play. These pieces can be used to broaden your little one's understanding and knowledge of our world and were created as early educational toys. I am inspired by the teachings of Montessori; the natural beauty of Waldorf; and incorporate a myriad of other learning-through-play philosophies when I design. It makes me smile to see my made-with-love pieces being toted for use as preschool toys and in natural play settings. Thank you for helping me support little minds, bodies, and imaginations through engaging, hands-on play and discovery.
