The Advent calendars made with baubles delighted the young creators. They enthusiastically threaded strings through holes in wooden boards, creating a wonderful keepsake from the Christmas workshops at Baby&Travel.

While the young crafters worked on their calendars, their parents listened to an important talk about Montessori toys and their role in developing children’s logical thinking and creativity. Educator and clinical psychologist Agata Pacholska discussed the benefits of toys that spark the imagination and encouraged parents to try them with their children.

Of course, we gave our participants that opportunity by setting up a play area. They could try not only classic Grimm’s toys, which perfectly embody the idea of a ‘creative toy’, but also rock in a wooden lounger or decorate a cushion cover with washable felt-tip pens.
