The DIY Montessori Baby Sensory Gift Set contains everything you need to create a carefully chosen collection of natural sensory materials for babies from approximately 6 months onwards. Complete with printable Instruction Guides, it includes the Bell Rattle DIY Kit, Grasping Beads DIY Kit, Crochet Wooden Teething Ring, Crochet Sensory Ball, and a muslin storage bag, supporting grasping, sensory exploration, hand-eye coordination, teething, and independent play.
Around six months, babies want to explore everything they can hold. They reach with greater confidence, transfer objects between their hands, investigate different textures, and discover how movement and sound respond to their own actions.
Rather than offering a single toy, this collection provides a variety of natural sensory experiences. Each material encourages a different type of exploration, from grasping and mouthing to shaking, rolling, and transferring between hands, creating a collection your baby can return to again and again as new skills emerge.
Why these materials at this stage
Around this age, babies often begin to:
- grasp and release objects more confidently
- transfer materials from one hand to the other
- mouth objects during teething
- explore different textures
- connect movement with sound
- repeat actions to understand cause and effect
The DIY Montessori Baby Sensory Gift Set supports these emerging abilities through:
- natural wooden materials
- varied tactile experiences
- gentle auditory feedback
- lightweight materials designed for little hands
- simple, open-ended exploration
Each material supports a different stage of sensory exploration while complementing the others, creating a calm collection your baby can return to again and again.

A beautiful gift that continues to be used
Many baby gifts are enjoyed for a short time before being forgotten.
The DIY Montessori Baby Sensory Gift Set has been designed differently.
As babies grow, they naturally discover new ways to use the same materials—from grasping and transferring between hands to shaking, rolling, teething, and independent exploration. Rather than following a single activity, the materials adapt to your baby’s changing interests and abilities.
Many families also enjoy presenting the collection in a simple basket, allowing babies to choose what interests them most and explore freely at their own pace.
Looking for the next stage?
The DIY Montessori Baby Sensory Gift Set pairs beautifully with the DIY Object Permanence Box Kit, introducing new opportunities for concentration, coordination, and problem-solving once your baby is confidently grasping and releasing objects.
You can also learn more about creating simple sensory play opportunities in my Sensory Play Guide, and discover how to prepare a Treasure Basket using everyday natural materials.
⚠️ Safety
- Always supervise your baby during use.

- The Bell Rattle is designed for grasping and listening, not for mouthing.
