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

The Montessori Baby Development DIY Kit contains everything you need to assemble a Montessori-inspired visual and tactile sequence for babies from approximately 2–3 months. Complete with printable instructions and video guidance, the kit includes the Octahedron, Gobbi, Ring on a Ribbon, and Bell on a Ribbon, supporting colour perception, visual tracking, reaching, grasping, and early sensory exploration.

Around two months, babies become more alert, track movement for longer periods, and begin reaching towards the world around them.

By combining carefully prepared visual and tactile materials, this kit supports the natural transition from observation to purposeful movement, allowing babies to explore their developing abilities through calm, simple, and developmentally appropriate experiences.

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 Montessori Baby Development DIY Kit supports this through:

• primary colours and geometric forms
• gradual colour variation
• visual tracking opportunities
• simple tactile materials that encourage reaching and grasping

Each material builds on the skills developed through the previous one, supporting a calm transition from visual observation to active exploration.

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.
