Infant Coin Box

The Infant Coin Box is a beautifully handcrafted Montessori material designed for infants aged 6–12 months who can sit independently. This classic early developmental toy includes a sturdy wooden box with a pull-out drawer and smooth wooden coins sized perfectly for small hands. It introduces young children to the essential cognitive concept of object permanence—the understanding that objects continue to exist even when they cannot be seen.

To use the material, the child places a wooden coin into the opening at the top of the box. The coin disappears momentarily inside the box, then becomes accessible only when the child opens the drawer to retrieve it. This extra step promotes curiosity, problem-solving, and deliberate movement. Babies who are developing their sense of object permanence naturally repeat this activity many times, strengthening their understanding through repetition.

This process also supports the development of fine motor skills, hand–eye coordination, wrist control, focus, and concentration. The Infant Coin Box is an excellent educational gift for babies, toddlers, preschoolers, or children with developmental delays, offering meaningful learning through play.
