A Montessori table is a child-sized table and chairs, typically made of natural wood. Dr. Montessori was one of the first people to create child-sized furniture. She noticed children benefit from being able to arrange and use furniture independently.
To use a Montessori table and chair the Montessori way, show your child how to pull out and push in the chair. Also, encourage your child to care for their space by putting art supplies, dishes, and/or toys away after using the table.
The Montessori method of weaning prioritizes independence and respect for the child. Instead of using a high chair and spoon-feeding, children use a weaning table, real dishes and cutlery, and open cups. Often combined with baby-led weaning (BLW), little ones self-feed safe foods.
When able, babies sit at a baby table and chair set so that they can get up independently when finished. Also, children practice using cutlery, dishes, and a very small glass cup. By using real table items, babies learn to participate in family mealtimes and achieve greater independence.
