Consider the Montessori way of displaying books in your home to conquer clutter, promote organization, encourage independence, and foster a love for reading. Here are a few easy ways to get started!

⭐️ Set books out on low, accessible book shelves to encourage independence.

⭐️Display books cover-out, rather than spine-out, to make it easier for children to choose a book.

⭐️Organize books by category or theme making it easier for children to find what they're interested in.

⭐️Keep only a few books out at a time to avoid overwhelming your child and to encourage them to fully engage with each book.

⭐️Rotate books periodically to keep them fresh and interesting.
Encourage your child to take care of their books by modeling proper handling and care.

☀️Inspired Play is a Chicago based children's organizing service using Montessori principles to help you optimize areas of your home for the best play and learning experiences!

“Children indeed love flowers, but they need to do something more than remain among them and contemplate their coloured blossoms. They find their greatest pleasure in acting, in knowing, in exploring, even apart from the attraction of external beauty.”
- Maria Montessori

Maria Montessori, an Italian physician and educator, believed that children learn best through exploration and hands-on experiences. One way to create an ideal learning environment at home is by providing child-sized furniture and utensils. This helps children develop independence and confidence as they learn to do things themselves. Child-sized furniture, such as chairs and tables, allow children to comfortably sit and work on tasks, while utensils designed for their size make it easier for them to learn basic skills like eating and drinking. When children have the opportunity to use tools and objects that are appropriate for their size, they feel a sense of ownership and control over their environment, which promotes their development and learning. As a parent, you can support your child's growth and independence by providing child-sized furniture and utensils in your home.
