Object Permanence Box

Around 8 to 12 months of age, your toddler begins to understand a fundamental concept: that objects still exist even when they can’t be seen. This is known as object permanence, a critical cognitive milestone that lays the foundation for memory development, emotional security, and independent exploration.

Our Montessori-inspired Object Permanence Box is thoughtfully designed to nurture this stage of development in a hands-on, engaging way. As your child places the timber ball into the hole and watches it disappear and then reappear in the tray, they begin to grasp this powerful new idea about the world.

Made from smooth, sustainably sourced wood, the box includes two timber balls carefully sized for small hands, making it easy for your toddler to grasp, release, and repeat the action over and over again. This repetition strengthens not only cognitive skills but also fine motor coordination and concentration.

Key Features:

• Designed to support the development of object permanence in infants and toddlers

• Includes 3 timber balls made to fit comfortably in your child’s hand

• Encourages concentration, problem-solving, and cause-and-effect understanding
  

• A beautiful, durable addition to your Montessori home environment

Support your child’s natural curiosity and growing independence with a learning material that’s as developmentally meaningful as it is engaging.
