Montessori “First Year Discovery” Set

Montessori “First Year Discovery” Set – Object‑Permanence Drawer, Shape & Texture Board, Threading Ring, Sensory Balls & Color Discs
A Curated Basket of Early Experiences for Curious Hands and Growing Minds

Thoughtfully assembled to honor your baby’s earliest sensitive periods, our First Year Discovery Set brings together five classic Montessori materials in soothing macaron hues:
• an object‑permanence drawer box that invites babies to drop a wooden ball and watch it reappear;
• a shape‑and‑texture inset board for tactile exploration;
• a wooden threading ring with chunky beads to lace and release;
• soft, nubby sensory balls for grasping and rolling;
• color‑matching discs that slide perfectly into little palms.
Everything tucks into a woven cotton basket for easy rotation, and a concise Parent’s Guide offers gentle tips for presenting each activity at the right moment. Crafted from natural wood and food‑grade silicone, the set turns everyday play into purposeful learning while keeping your home environment beautiful and calm.

👶 Age Recommendation
Designed for babies 6 to 18 months—beginning when grasping and visual tracking emerge, and growing with your child through crawling, sitting, and early standing milestones.

🌟 Developmental Benefits

• Object Permanence & Cause‑Effect – Dropping the ball into the box deepens the understanding that things continue to exist even when out of sight.

• Fine Motor & Hand‑Eye Coordination – Threading beads, fitting shapes, and placing discs strengthen the pincer grasp, wrist rotation, and bilateral hand use.

• Tactile & Sensory Exploration – Varied textures and weights stimulate the senses, supporting neural pathways for later language and cognition.

• Color & Shape Discrimination – Matching discs and geometric insets lay gentle foundations for future math and reading readiness.

• Concentration & Independence – Self‑correcting materials let your child repeat, refine, and succeed at their own pace, fostering confidence and joyful focus.

📚 A Montessori Quote to Inspire

“The hand is the instrument of intelligence. The child needs to manipulate objects and to gain experience by touching and handling.”
— Maria Montessori, The 1946 London Lectures

Offer your little one a prepared invitation to touch, explore, and learn—where every drop, grasp, and discovery paves the way to confident growth.
