Parenting—it's a whirlwind, isn't it?
It’s like we’re constantly on the lookout for things that can make life a little smoother, especially during the summer months when the sun—and my kids’ boredom!— is at its peak.
And while of course I’m always looking for ways to engage my kids for as long as possible, I don’t want to settle for things designed just for entertainment. I really want to encourage my kids to explore their independence and imaginations and Nestig might just have the perfect solution…
Nestig’s Play Furniture Changed My Life
Let me introduce you to the magic of Nestig’s new Montessori-inspired Play Furniture collection. It’s been an absolute game-changer for us. I like to call it our "secret weapon" for keeping everyone sane and happy!
Since getting these pieces, our home has become so much more organized and our playtime more meaningful. Getting your kids to play by themselves is often a challenge, but these pieces have truly helped keep their little brains engaged so that I get that oh-so-valuable occasional breather.
Here are my top three:
Tackling the creative chaos, we have… the Masterpiece Easel!
First up, the Masterpiece Easel. If your little one loves drawing as much as mine, you’ll love this. Our drawers used to be overflowing with random sheets of paper, but not anymore! This easel has become my kid’s go-to creative station to scribble, scrawl, and let their imagination run wild.
Even more, it has a two-sided drawing board: chalkboard on one side and whiteboard on the other. Plus, it comes with a never-ending paper roll–that can easily be replaced via Amazon–meaning my kid can keep drawing and exploring without running out of paper. The shelves and top tray keep all the art supplies neatly organized, so there’s no mess.
This easel is crafted with solid Brazilian pine and eco-engineered wood from reforested land, so it’s sturdy, eco-friendly, and can hold up well against even the busiest of little ones.
Now, my kid has a beautiful, dedicated space to unleash their creativity. Picasso, is that you??!
Marrying functionality and storage, say hello to…the Arches Bookshelf Desk
Seriously, I think Nestig must have reached into my brain and plucked this idea right out of it with the Arches Bookshelf Desk, a lovely little rainbow shaped desk that doubles as a display bookshelf on its backside–perfect for coloring, snacktime, and silly adventures crawling underneath the arches to retrieve lost crayons.
This desk is ideal for my little one who loves to create, but also enjoys some quiet contemplative time with a favorite book (or three!)
The Arches Bookshelf is one complete piece that arrives fully assembled, so no worrying about having to put it together while your child (not-so-patiently) waits on the sidelines. This solid, Brazilian pine Montessori-style bookshelf is ready for play the moment it crosses your threshold.
If you want to encourage independent play, try…the Bear Cub Montessori Table & Chair Set!
Finding the perfect play table that’s both functional and stylish was tough until we discovered the Bear Cub Montessori Table & Chair Set. The handles are designed for your kid to move it by themselves (and it’s light enough for them to carry!) so it’s perfect for letting their imaginations go wild. The chair can be flipped and used as a bench or a stool or even its own table if your kids like to sit on the floor as much as mine do!
This set is made with solid Brazilian pine and includes a table and chair that are just the right size for little ones and I particularly love that you can stack them into a cube for extra space.
It’s super easy to move around the house from their bedroom to the living room and even outside! The multi-purpose design is perfect for everything from drawing to snack time. It looks fantastic in our playroom and I can’t get over how cute my little one looks perched at the head of the table.
Give Playtime the Attention it Deserves With Nestig
What I love most about Nestig Play Furniture is that these pieces are sustainably made and built to last, they’re not just quick fixes–they’re investments in our kids’ futures.
If you're a parent like me who wants to prioritize their kids creativity and open-ended play sessions, Nestig has created a collection of absolute must-haves. They’re perfect for anyone looking to create a fun, educational, and organized space for their kids.
Trust me, once you revamp your play space with Nestig essentials, you'll wonder how you ever managed without them!
