Montessori Baby Development DIY Kit – Visual & Tactile Set (2–3 Months)

Around two months, many parents begin wondering what comes after the first visual mobiles. Babies are becoming more alert, tracking movement for longer periods, and starting to reach toward the world around them.

The Montessori Baby Development DIY Kit brings together visual and tactile materials designed for this stage of development. While visual attention is still growing, babies also begin showing interest in reaching, grasping, and interacting with their environment.

The combination of the Octahedron, Gobbi, and tactile materials supports this natural transition from observation toward exploration through carefully prepared experiences that remain calm, simple, and developmentally appropriate.

This DIY kit allows you to prepare the materials yourself, becoming part of your baby’s earliest environment.

Why these materials at this stage

Around this age, babies begin to:

• distinguish colours more clearly
• follow movement with increasing focus
• develop depth perception
• notice differences in shades and contrast
• reach intentionally toward objects
• explore through movement and touch

The progression supports this through:

• primary colours and geometric forms
• gradual colour variation
• visual tracking opportunities
• simple tactile experiences

This is not designed to entertain, but to support calm and focused development.

From visual focus to early exploration

Visual materials

• Octahedron
• Gobbi

Tactile materials

• Bell on a Ribbon
• Ring on a Ribbon
• Grasping Beads

Together, they support the transition from visual observation toward reaching, grasping, and sensory exploration.

Many families choose this set after the newborn visual sequence and before progressing to the Dancers mobile and later visual materials.

If you’d like to understand how each stage supports development, you can read more in the Montessori visual mobiles guide and tactile materials guide.

A DIY process that stays simple

All materials are prepared so you can focus on assembling the set without needing to source components yourself.

As you make them, you are preparing a calm, intentional environment designed to evolve alongside your baby’s development.
