Montessori: FAQ

Are the toy dimensions accurate for toddlers?

Always check the product description for measurements in centimeters rather than relying on photos. Many items appear larger in staged photography, so verify the 'Specifications' tab to ensure the size fits your child's age group.

How can I ensure the wood is safe and non-toxic?

Look for listings that specifically mention 'Water-based paint' and 'Natural wood'. High-quality sellers often upload safety certification images (like CE or EN71) directly in the product gallery to prove their materials are lead-free.

What indicates a durable Montessori toy on AliExpress?

Prioritize items made from solid wood like beech or maple instead of plywood. Check the 'Total Orders' and 'Customer Reviews' for photos of the actual product to ensure the joints and finishes are smooth and sturdy.

Will delicate wooden toys arrive safely via international shipping?

Choose sellers that offer 'AliExpress Selection Standard' shipping as they typically use better protective packaging. Read recent reviews to see if other buyers mentioned reinforced boxes or bubble wrap for that specific store.

Recommendations for buyers

✓
Material Authenticity
Ensure the product uses natural, sustainably sourced wood. Avoid toys with a strong chemical odor, which indicates low-quality adhesives or non-compliant paints.
✓
Skill-Level Alignment
Select toys that match the child's 'sensitive periods'. For example, choose object permanence boxes for infants and complex geometric solids for older children.
✓
Safety Standards
Check for rounded edges and smooth sanding. For children under three, ensure there are no small detachable parts that could pose a choking hazard.
