Wooden permanence box – Grapat 2023 Happy Place Collection

The sturdy Grapat wooden object permanence box from the 2023 happy place collection is a Montessori inspired developmental toy for toddlers.

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 Grapat object permanence box has a removable lid and invites children to insert objects. The circular hole is sized for the Grapat nins, sticks and brots. The slit is perfect for posting Grapat rings or coins, or simply for letter deliveries!

The box is also a great addition to symbolic play and can be used for storing treasures found on nature walks, small toys or for colour sorting activities.

This lovely permanence box is made from sustainably sourced solid European hardwood and has a high quality ply lid and base. It measures 16.2 x 12.5 x 8.4cm and has smooth rounded corners and edges. The box is pleasant to touch and finished with natural bees wax.

The Grapat object permanence box is suitable for children aged 6 months and up.
