I checked out Brilliant Minds. I love that it's comprehensive, includes curriculum, and lots of manipulatives. It looks great!
The things I'm not sure about are all the plastic pieces (as opposed to wood), and that there are very small pieces. My little guy is 3, but still puts stuff in his mouth. And I'd love to have something that I could use with my baby long before she's 3. I just started her on LM a few days ago. She loves it! My son however just couldn't get into it.
Do you (or does anyone else) know of anything montessori-like similar to Brilliant Minds, but with wooden parts, and larger pieces?
Thank-you!
