With a unique tray and ball system, it encourages repeated play and cognitive growth, making learning both fun and rewarding. ## Description Product description Object permanence is the understanding that objects continue to exist even when they cannot be perceived (seen, heard, touched, smelled or sensed in any way). The concept of object permanence plays a significant role in the theory of cognitive development created by psychologist Jean Piaget. In the sensorimotor stage of development, a period that lasts from birth to about age two, Piaget suggested that children understand the world through their motor abilities such as touch, vision, taste, and movement. Object Permanence box with tray is the first level (Easiest Level ) for children from 8 months to one and a half approximately. Child would have to take the ball and put it through the hole. For little baby it is a challenge for them to be able to do it because their eye-hand coordination. After the ball rolled out, then they see the ball show up again so they learn object permanence. Product Features The set consists of a box with two holes and a tray a wooden ball Item size - 11.8 x 5.9 x 4.3 inches Review: High quality Montessori toy - Very nice quality toy that I feel is worth the money and would make a nice gift for a 6 month old or older. The box is sturdy, with a nice finish, and smooth edges. The ball that comes with it is solid wood and I think is helpful for fine motor development. Yes, it makes a loud 'plunk' when it falls, but it's wood. Maybe if your baby is scared of the noise, you could put some felt on the ramp inside. So far the baby likes it even though she hasn't mastered the game yet. This would last for multiples or could be a nice hand-me-down. Review: Our Baby's FAVORITE Toy from 6-10 months - We are trying to follow montessori principles at home with our daughter, so we first purchased this box to help teach her object permanence. While simple, this has been her absolute favorite toy since she was 6 months old. At first she loved watching us model it, then loved trying to do it herself, and now loves seeing if larger and smaller objects will fit in. This box keeps her entertained for very long periods of time and also helps give her exercise as she loves crawling after the balls when they don't quite make it in the hole. She has also been very curious about how the box works and looks at the box from all angles to explore. Also, the quality if very good on this. We also purchased the "next" level, which is the cylinder shape with a door and hole and she has not taken to that one (yet). One thing is that the ball that comes with it is very poor quality and its' slippery plastic features made the ball pop right our of her hand each time, so instead we use a ball that came with the Hape Geometric Rattle set, which has a little rubber grip to it and it is perfect for it! ## Features - 🌱A child has to drop the little ball into the hole in the box. The ball will roll out of the box and into the attached tray thus allowing the child to experience object permanence by seeing that the ball did not just disappear. - 🌱It practices precise hand movements while sending information to the brain as well as develops hand, wrist and finger control - also known as "refined hand movements". - 🌱With repeated use of this material, the child learns how it feels to succeed when he has achieved a goal on his own. - πŸ€Please note we have Two version of wooden colored ball, one is Original colorway wooden ball and another is RED colorway wooden ball. - πŸ€Please note that the colorway of wooden ball selection is at our discretion. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B007IS364E | | Age Range Description | Baby | | Best Sellers Rank | #110,713 in Toys & Games ( See Top 100 in Toys & Games ) #1,067 in Sorting & Stacking Toys | | Brand Name | Elite Montessori | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 2,806 Reviews | | Educational Objective | Object Permanence, Hand-Eye Coordination | | Is Assembly Required | No | | Item Dimensions | 11.8 x 5.9 x 4.3 inches | | Item Weight | 1.6 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Elite Montessori | | Manufacturer Minimum Age (MONTHS) | 8.00 | | Manufacturer Part Number | EL.002 | | Material Type | Wood | | Model Number | EL.002 | | Number of Players | 1 | | Operation Mode | Manual | | Size | 5.9 inches x 11.8 inches | | UPC | 746550767320 765326582912 791209740742 793631173938 610373013042 702168264811 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Images ![Elite Montessori Object Permanence Box with Tray and Ball - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51aslKCyREL.jpg) ![Elite Montessori Object Permanence Box with Tray and Ball - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51ZXN9Ln93L.jpg) ![Elite Montessori Object Permanence Box with Tray and Ball - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51hg4VNuM2L.jpg) ![Elite Montessori Object Permanence Box with Tray and Ball - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51Rj+gnG+VL.jpg) ![Elite Montessori Object Permanence Box with Tray and Ball - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/5132vj3cyIL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Any recommendations where to find a wooden ball so I can replace the plastic one?** A: Anything that's the size of a golf ball will work **Q: My object permanence box came with a piece of wood that I'm assuming is a ramp for guiding the ball, but it is unattached.Has anyone experienced this?** A: There was not a separate piece of wood with the box. **Q: Where is it manufactured?** A: It's Made in China. **Q: I have a 9 month old. Will this last her a long time into toddler years or will she get bored of it pretty quick?** A: This will probably hold her interest until 15 months or so. Afterwards, I would suggest the one with the drawer. For reference, I own a Montessori school for 0 to 3 years and have a toddler of my own. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ High quality Montessori toy *by B***E on January 25, 2021* Very nice quality toy that I feel is worth the money and would make a nice gift for a 6 month old or older.

Maybe its not quite for his age - probably more appropriate for a 1 year old? But it works out. Do not leave your little ones alone with this toy though - the wood is very sturdy and hard - my son likes to lift the whole thing and bang it down so we try not to let him do that bc he could hurt himself. Also it does make a loud noise when you drop the ball but it doesn't scare him - he likes it. Overall a neat little toy and good quality. I would buy again for sure. ## Frequently Bought Together - Elite Montessori Object Permanence Box with Tray and Ball - Elite Montessori Coin Box with Thicker Coins - Montessori Multiple Shape Puzzle First Shapes Jumbo Knob Wooden Puzzle Geometric Shape Puzzle Toddler Preschool Learning Material Sensorial Toy for Toddler Shape & Color Sorter (3 Pieces) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/4193505-elite-montessori-object-permanence-box-with-tray-and-ball](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/4193505-elite-montessori-object-permanence-box-with-tray-and-ball) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-06*
