Object Permanence Box Kit – DIY Montessori Toy for Babies (6+ Months)

Support your baby’s development in a meaningful and engaging way with this Object Permanence box kit. It is thoughtfully designed for babies aged 6 months and up. Inspired by the Montessori approach to early childhood education, this hands-on toy encourages independent learning, concentration, and curiosity through simple, purposeful play.

Around six months of age, babies begin to develop the concept of object permanence. This is the understanding that people and objects continue to exist even when they’re out of sight. This is a major milestone in early cognitive development. The Object Permanence box kit allows your baby to experience this concept through repeated, hands-on interaction. When your little one drops the ball into the hole and watches it reappear from the box, they are not only entertained, but actively building their understanding of how the world works.

This DIY Montessori baby toy also promotes fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and sensory awareness. The set includes two different types of balls: one smooth, weighted wooden ball, and one crocheted, textured ball made from recycled yarn. These offer varying tactile experiences to support sensory development.

The kit comes with everything you need to assemble the toy yourself:

• A pre-drawn cardboard box (10 x 10 cm)
• 1 wooden ball (3.5 cm)
• 1 crocheted ball (4 cm)
• Access to a step-by-step video tutorial

Easy to put together and made with care, this toy is perfect for parents who value learning through play and want to create something special for their child. It also makes a heartfelt gift for first-time moms. It would make a lovely addition to baby showers or a present to Montessori-loving families.
