The Joyful Child

Oh, Happy Day! I am always so excited when the newest edition of The Joyful Child graces my mailbox. This catalog is pure delight for folks who respect Montessori philosophy, enjoy preparing their home to be friendly toward little ones or just LOVE babies. Aside from the rich, educational text that fills its pages, this Michael Olaf catalog is chock full of quality products that appeal to small people: tiny aprons, tools for little hands, wooden toys, cotton clothing, real child sized instruments, and lovely books. This catalog is one of my favorite late-night reads. Its companion Child of the World is also a handy Montessori resource with products for children aged 6-12. Now you know what I will be doing late tonight!
