This Montessori baby sensory gift set gathers four natural sensory toys for babies from around six months in one muslin bag: two DIY kits you assemble yourself — a Bell Rattle and Grasping Beads with five 25 mm wooden beads — and two ready-made, hand-crocheted pieces, a wooden teething ring (about 7 cm) and a sensory ball (about 4 cm), all in natural untreated wood and recycled cotton yarn. Printable instructions and video guidance are included.
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 that can continue to support exploration 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 aspect of sensory exploration while complementing the others, creating a calm and varied collection for this stage.

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.

Safety
