Product Description
The Montessori Ball and Coin Drop Activity is a dual-purpose object permanence material designed for toddlers to explore cause and effect, hand control, and early problem-solving. This 2-in-1 activity features a wooden box with two separate drawers—one for a red ball drop and one for wooden coins—supporting repeated exploration through independent work. As children retrieve the ball or coins from the drawers, they begin to internalize the concept that objects exist even when hidden from view.
