MONTESSORI MONDAY: GRANDKITS REVIEW!
One thing that I was so excited to do with Little Peanut that we didn't get to do with The Moo was Montessori Mobiles. And for some time I looked online for different options to hang them at a height that Little Peanut could admire and possibly interact with. After a while of looking at Baby Activity Centers that all looked the same it was refreshing to stumble upon Grandpa Wes with his shop GrandKits. These beautiful wooden activity centers are easy to stain to fit in with your decor, or leave it natural like we did. They do require a little bit of sanding once they arrive but nothing your partner can't handle if you are far enough along in your pregnancy like I was. The only thing I wish was different about this baby activity center would be that the metal screw didn't stick out of the top so much, I worried about her brother running by all crazy and falling on it somehow (paranoia I know). This could be easily fixed by cutting it shorter.
The kit comes with some really cute wooden animals that you can hang.
But for my purposes I really wanted to DIY my own Montessori Mobiles.
Thankfully it was around the holidays when I created this Munari Mobile so it was far easier to find a plastic ornament to hang instead of a glass one.
Traditionally a glass globe is used but because this mobile was going to be more or less on her level we didn't need any glass falling on Little Peanut.
It has been such a joy to watch Little Peanut discovering and now exploring her world. I love having the mirror right next to her so she can see not only herself but us as well. Oh my goodness, on the move already!
We are getting ready to move into the bus and I love how small this activity center breaks down into. Check out our video showing off how to assemble and disassemble this beauty, its so easy!
And if you wanna take home one of these sweet Baby Activity Centers check out Grandpa Wes at GrandKits!
