    Grapat Object Permanence Box

    The Grapat Object Permanence Box is a lidded wooden box with a hole and slit in the lid for posting objects, a great developmental toy for babies and toddlers.

    The Grapat object permanence box is a classic Montessori toy that supports the development of object permanence - now you see it, now you don't! Object permanence is a crucial stage in baby development, discovering that just because we can't see an object anymore doesn't mean that it has disappeared, making baby games such as peekaboo popular for early learning. The slot in the lid is perfect for posting Grapat rings or coins, and the circular hole is big enough to post a nin. Take the lid off this baby's cause-and-effect posting toy, tip out the contents and refill all over again!

    This object permanence box is a great learning toy for holding treasures and learning about sizes, colour sorting and developing fine motor skills. Made from solid hardwood, this permanence box is made from sustainably sourced European hardwood with a high quality ply lid and base, solidly made with smooth rounded corners and edges and a natural finish. Posting toys are a favourite early learning toy that can be used with a wide range of objects, including Grapat mandala pieces and loose parts to exploring with natural finds.

    Suitable for 0+ years. We recommend this toy for 6 months + or when baby can sit unaided. Grapat toys are handmade using natural wood and water based stain. Colours and wood grains vary as does life itself. Over time wood can wear with play.

    Size: 16.2 x 12.5 x 8.4cm

    Sensory play:

    Touch - clutching and grasping, fine motor skills, tripod grip

    Visual - object permanence, cause and effect, cognition

    Schematic play: This toy will appeal to children demonstrating the positioning schema.

    Key product ethics: Made using traditional manufacturing methods in the Grapat workshop where they ensure fair working conditions, using wood sustainably sourced within the EU - certification PEFC 14-35-00485, and coloured using safe water-based non-toxic dyes. All packaging is 100% plastic free.

    Please note: due to distribution restrictions we cannot send Grapat toys to addresses outside of the EU.

    Grapat toys are designed to embolden the natural desire to play within every child. Simplistic toys made from natural materials allow children to play freely without rules or structure, playing discovering and learning. Sure to be a favourite with Montessori toy lovers, counting, sorting and open ended play galore. Grapat toys are famed for the “Nins”, a beautiful range of traditional Waldorf toy peg dolls available in a plethora of colours and designs that give them real character. Grapat toys exude the natural beauty of the earth made using locally sourced sustainable wood and finished with water based colour stain that is safe for children and will not chip away.

An inspiring purchase

This box is so much more than it looks! It’s been a post box, a till, a spirometer (when you know, you know 😂) a hit for the penguins & great with teaching object permanence. In between sessions it has stored our seasonal nins which is a bonus!

Beautifully made

I bought this for my son who will be turning one soon, along with the Grapat coins and nins. It is a good size, perfect to store the coins but not too heavy for him. The wood is lovely!

Lovely little box

This was purchased for my daughter's first birthday as she is very much in her 'putting things in bags/boxes and taking them out again' era. It is a little smaller than I expected but actually I think the size is perfect for her age. She enjoys posting her grapat nins and coins into it, and explores what else she can/cannot post in. My almost 5 year old also enjoys borrowing the box to involve her role play games, it is a perfect bed for many of her holztiger and lanka kade animals.
