Lovevery Play Kit
★★★★★ 4.5 / 5
Lovevery ships stage-based Montessori-inspired play kits made largely from wood and natural materials, matched to a baby or toddler's developmental window. The materials are a real step up from cheap plastic toys, but it's still a recurring subscription that keeps adding more toys to the house.
$80 per kit
Pros
- ✓Toys are made mostly from wood, organic cotton, and other natural materials rather than single-use plastic
- ✓Each kit is paired with research-backed activity guides for that developmental stage
- ✓Durable enough to be resold, handed down, or passed to a second child
Cons
- ✗It's a recurring subscription — cost adds up to hundreds of dollars over a child's first years
- ✗Kits keep arriving on a schedule whether or not a family actually needs more toys that month
- ✗Not every toy in a kit will land for every kid, and there's no way to swap items
