Beautiful heirloom quality

I absolutely love this beautiful piece for our shelves! The wood is sturdy and the construction is solid. The stain is gorgeous and the whole thing has been coated to make it nice and smooth to the touch.

Great toy

Baby loves this toy and it is such good quality. At 6 months she enjoyed watching me drop the ball and she would teeth on the ball. At 8 months she started attempting to drop the ball in and learned how to roll the ball back and forth with me. I would put play silks in it and she would pull them out like the popular tissue box toy. At 10 months she has finally learned how to drop the ball in. We also like to put her animal toys in it and watch them disappear and reappear. She loves this toy and I love that we’ve found multiple ways to play with it and have already gotten 4 full months of use out of it. The quality is incredible, this is a toy that our future babies will also use and that we could probably keep and save for our future generations.

Highly recommend!

This is an extremely well made toy! It was packaged well and arrived in one piece. Once I opened it, I could tell this toy will stand the test of time. It is sturdy and the ball is large enough that you don’t have to worry about it being a choking hazard. My five month old (and cats) love this toy. This is the kind of toy that she can develop with and find new ways to play with as she grows. Highly recommend!

Give Your Child a Head Start

Give Your Child a Head Start

Object permanence is the idea that just because you can’t see something doesn’t mean it’s not there. That may seem obvious to adults, but this concept is earth-shattering to babies. And understanding this concept is a major developmental milestone in infants.

Promote Independent Play

Promote Independent Play

An object permanence box is the perfect sensorial toy for your child’s independent play. It fosters creativity and imagination, develops gross and fine motor skills, and builds persistence and problem-solving skills, all while teaching patience and resilience.

A Classic Montessori Material

A Classic Montessori Material

The object permanence box is one of the most quintessential Montessori baby learning materials to exist. Montessori & Me’s object permanence box preserves the original design concepts developed by Dr. Maria Montessori and brings them to life in a beautiful, unique and modernized rendition.

Getting Started

Getting Started

Sitting next to your child on the floor, position the Object Permanence Box such that the hole on the top is within easy reach. With a positive tone that sparks your child's interest, say: "Look!" Slowly pick up and place the ball into the hole. Wait for the ball to reappear in the tray and come to a stop, then slowly pick it up again. Repeat this action once more, then invite your child to have a turn.
