Some baby toys are loved for a few weeks. Others remain favourites long after the first excitement has passed.
The Montessori Baby Ball DIY Kit combines two popular Montessori-inspired toys designed to encourage grasping, movement, sensory exploration, and independent play. By making them yourself, you create more than developmental materials. You create toys that become part of your baby’s earliest discoveries.
The two balls offer different experiences while complementing one another, giving babies opportunities to explore texture, shape, movement, and coordination as their abilities develop.
Two baby toys, two different experiences
The distinctive segmented design makes the ball easier for small hands to grasp than a traditional ball.
It can support:
- grasping and releasing
- transferring between hands
- rolling and chasing
- coordination and movement
- independent exploration
Made from fabrics with different textures, the Sensory Ball encourages:
- tactile exploration
- sensory discovery
- visual interest
- grasping and squeezing
- hand-eye coordination
Together, they offer a rich variety of experiences while remaining simple, purposeful, and open-ended.
Designed to grow with your baby
As babies become more confident with their hands and movements, both balls continue to offer new challenges.
What begins as touching and grasping can later become rolling games, movement activities, throwing practice, and independent play.
Because there is no single correct way to use them, they naturally evolve alongside your child’s development.
