Twelve to Eighteen Months

Toddlers at this age are learning to move and explore in new and different ways. They often become much less interested in the work/activities that are put on their shelves and more and more interested in using those new gross motor skills and engaging in practical life. 

Montessori friendly activities, toys, and spaces for toddlers ages 12 to 18 months.

Here are some articles for young toddlers, ages 12 to 18 months. These are roughly organized by category and from youngest (12ish months) to oldest (18ish months). But just because my child did something at one age, many of these activities are appropriate during this age range. Remember, please to follow your own child, this is not meant to be a strict curriculum but one family's example.
