My son, who just turned 2, has been in an amazing Montessori toddler classroom for the last six months. He was absolutely thriving and loved every second of school.

Now, due to quarantine, he is home with me and his sister, who is in kindergarten. I am thinking that even if he does return to his classroom in the fall, there may still be intermittent closures that interrupt his education.

So. What materials should I invest in for age 2 to 3 that are challenging and interesting for this age and are a good value. I am comfortable DIY-ing language materials and practical life, but I’m thinking there are some sensorial materials that I just need to purchase.

Any tips for “must have” toddler materials? Favorite vendors? TIA.
