Engaging early learning with Busy Edition
Introducing the Busy Edition Montessori Object Permanence Box, a wooden ball drop toy designed for babies from six months through toddlers. The compact box features a single drop hole and three distinct primary color balls in red, green, and blue. Crafted from quality wood, it includes a felt layer that softens the sound as the balls tumble into the tray, offering a gentle, tactile experience during play.
With a ball diameter of 1.77 inches, the size is comfortable for tiny hands and safe for exploration as little ones discover cause-and-effect through dropping and retrieving the balls. The design invites quiet concentration and interactive moments, whether solo or shared with a caregiver or sibling.
