Who We Are – The Story Behind Cub Toys

At Cub Toys, we believe in the power of purposeful play. As a stay-at-home mom to a curious two-year-old, I’ve experienced firsthand the overwhelming flood of toys that often fill a home in the early years of parenting. Despite having countless toys at his disposal, my son showed little interest in them when they were simply piled into open storage boxes. I knew there had to be a better way to encourage meaningful play and learning.

How Montessori Principles Shape the Design and Purpose of Children's Toys

Montessori toys are designed to support children's independence, creativity, and natural curiosity by aligning with Montessori educational principles. These toys feature simple, purposeful designs, often using natural materials, and focus on real-life applications to develop practical skills. Many include self-correcting features that foster problem-solving without adult intervention. Montessori toys encourage autonomy, open-ended exploration, and skill-building without unnecessary distractions. Examples include wooden puzzles, stacking toys, and kitchen sets. The Montessori approach views play as meaningful work, promoting active engagement and responsibility. Choosing Montessori-aligned toys ensures a rich learning environment that nurtures a child's cognitive and motor development.
