Montessori Animal Learning Set

Montessori Animal Learning Set – Wooden Sorting & Discovery Toy

Bring the wild world to little hands with the Montessori Animal Learning Set — a timeless collection of wooden creatures crafted to inspire storytelling, sorting and sensory discovery. Designed for children aged 1 to 4, this set encourages observation, imagination and an early appreciation for animals and nature.

Learn through discovery

Each animal is carved with simple, recognisable shapes that help children identify features like tails, paws and wings. The calm, neutral palette supports focus and attention, while the tactile feel of natural wood helps strengthen fine motor skills through touch and movement.

Key benefits

• Early recognition: Supports naming and classifying animals, building language and memory.
• Sensory play: Smooth wood textures stimulate touch and encourage focus without overstimulation.
• Fine motor skills: Picking, sorting and balancing pieces helps improve coordination and control.
• Open-ended learning: No rules — children can invent habitats, stories and sorting challenges at their own pace.

What’s included

• Handcrafted wooden animal figures in natural finishes
• Lightweight, smooth-edged pieces safe for small hands
• Reusable box for tidy storage and gifting

How to play

• Line up animals by size or habitat
• Hide a few under a cloth and ask which one is missing — a simple memory game
• Pair animals with sounds or actions: hop like a bunny, roar like a lion
