Francine thanks for the question. I’m pleased your maple looks good especially in the spring.
Ideally the saplings need to be two or three years old before you start to bonsai them. Bonsai are mature trees reduced and kept small. These first 2/3 years enable the tree to establish some hardiness.
There are a number of articles on the site that should help you start. If you want specific info make another comment and I will put up a post.
All the best

Should I leave the saplings where it is for the next two years, or should I transfer it in a pot so I can climatise it in a cool place in the house. I guess my question is should I treat it like a tree or like a plant that goes outside and inside in the winter?
I live in Canada, Niagara region.

You are in the hardiness zone 5-6, the maple Bonsai is ok for 5-8. So in theory it is just within its range. However, it needs protecting from the worst weather and cold winds(which will dry the plant out) in the winter. As you have mentioned it should be kept cool, as the winter is the dormant period. In the summer they must not get direct sunlight as this will scorch the leaves. They are however outdoor trees so do need to be hardy. If possible provide a cover or put them under a sheltered area. The roots can be protected by a layer of straw to stop them freezing. You ask if they are a tree or a plant, they are trees but very young, as such they need protecting until they are older.
Hope this helps.
