Montessori Nido Shelf: 1-Tier – Nienhuis Montessori

The high-quality 1-tier Nido shelf from the Nienhuis Montessori baby & toddler furniture range has an open back, is low to the ground and has a top and bottom shelf.

Entirely made by hand from birch wood, this baby / toddler shelf enhances any Montessori kindergarten, Nido, prepared environment or playroom at home. Although many of the same concepts used in designing furniture for the older child’s environment apply in an infant / toddler environment, however due to the size and developmental age of young children there are a number of important factors that must be considered. One of the key concepts in this environment is learning to be independent.

Rather than using the traditional ‘high’ furniture, which rely on adult intervention, Montessori furniture for babies and small children is lower in height and smaller in size. This allows both the infant and the teacher or parent to see through the shelves while maintaining a safe barrier.

The 1-tier shelf is shipped unmounted and flat-packed and measures: 121.5 x 30 x 32.5cm.

This 1-tier Nido shelf is suitable for the Montessori prepared environment for children aged 0 to 4 years. It is made by GAM (Gonzagarredi Montessori) for Nienhuis in Italy.
