Montessori Object Permanence Box with Tray is a beautifully crafted Montessori toy designed for infants aged 9 to 18 months. This early learning material helps young children understand the concept of object permanence — the idea that objects continue to exist even when they are out of sight.

This Toddler Montessori Material also promotes:

- Hand-eye coordination 

- Refined hand movements 

- Wrist and finger control 

- Early problem-solving skills

- Focus and independence
