Montessori & More – Toys for life
A married couple who homeschooled their children following the Montessori method embarked on a journey of courses and learning conferences in the field. They soon found that most of the material needed to encourage children’s motor skills, creativity and imagination were not to be found in Egypt.
Designing their kids’ toys led them to the idea of setting up a business. They carefully chose their toys and used the best natural wood to have a long life.
