Montessori Object Permanence Discs Post Box - QToys

Invite inquisitive tamariki to practise hand to eye precision and early problem-solving with this solid timber post box and tactile coconut discs.

Inspired by classic Montessori object permanence work, little learners post each disc through the top slot, then open the smooth-gliding drawer to discover their treasure has “returned”. The simple action-and-reaction loop builds concentration, wrist rotation and an early grasp of cause and effect – all foundations for confident writing and maths later on.
