GAM

GAM (Gonzagarredi) is an Italian maker of Montessori learning materials and child-sized furniture, with roots going right back to Maria Montessori — it's one of only three companies worldwide certified by the Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) to produce authentic Montessori materials. The range spans sensorial materials, building and sorting toys, and furniture, in natural wood with non-toxic finishes.

GAM's sensorial materials isolate one quality at a time — colour, size, shape or sound — so children can concentrate and explore a single concept. Self-correcting by design, they let children discover and repeat independently, building focus, discrimination and early classification.

Yes — GAM's range is built around Montessori principles, with purposeful, self-correcting materials that support hands-on, child-led learning. Used one at a time on a clear surface, they help children concentrate and master a skill, building the foundations for maths and literacy.

GAM spans toddlers through primary years — simple shape and colour work suits ages 2 to 3, while graded and more complex materials engage children to around six and beyond. Larger pieces suit the youngest; keep smaller parts for ages 3 and up.

Yes — alongside learning materials, GAM makes child-sized tables, chairs and storage designed for a Montessori environment, bringing everything to a child's height to support independence. The furniture pairs with the sensorial and activity materials for a complete learning space.
