Object permanence box with tray – Nienhuis Montessori

Object permanence box with tray / Montessori infant & toddler material – Nienhuis Montessori

The beautifully made Nienhuis Montessori object permanence box with tray is part of the infant and toddler material. It is entirely made of wood and includes one small plastic ball. Playing a significant role in cognitive development, object permanence is to understand that objects continue to exist even when they are unseen or unheard. In order to be able to so, the child first must develop a mental representation of objects which begins to emerge between 18 and 24 months. Around that age the child is ready to understand object permanence as they are able to form mental representations of objects.

The object permanence box with tray invites the child to insert the small ball in the hole and to observe the ball to return from the opening of the box to expose itself once again by rolling into the tray, thus practising eye-hand coordination and becoming familiar with object permanence.
