3 - 6 Years

Looking for toys for 3 year old boys and girls who want to do everything by themselves? This range gathers wooden café and kitchen play sets, memory games, lacing toys, paints and puzzles for children aged 3 to 6, to use at home or at nursery.

Toys for 4 year olds who love to pretend

Around four, pretend play turns into whole stories with roles. The wooden cash register, the pop-up toaster, the stand mixer and the coffee machine make a corner of the living room into a café, and the tool belt sends a little handyman round the house. Mix in real jobs too: the cleaning sets, in blue or pink, come with child-sized tools for wiping up after lunch.

Sound, weight and colour: memory games to play together

Sound, weight, touch and colour each have their own matching game: listen for the two boxes that make the same noise, or feel which pieces weigh the same. These short Montessori games build attention without a screen. Play the first rounds together, then step back once your child knows the rules.

Gifts for three year olds who like to make things

Liquid gouache, a watercolour box, air-drying clay and glitter glue pens cover most afternoons indoors. For car journeys, the reusable water doodle mat works with plain water and fades as it dries, so nothing gets stained. Lacing toys such as the apple caterpillar or the cheese and mouse ask for slower, more precise fingers.

From 3 to 6: picking the right challenge

At three, choose one clear activity with a visible result, like threading or a colour lotto. At four and five, children enjoy turns and rules: the 4-cube pattern puzzle with challenge cards or the interlocking gears board keep them thinking for longer. A toy that shows its own mistakes, like a cube face that does not match its card, lets a four-year-old put things right without asking, the self-correction at the centre of the Montessori method.
