Montessori Imbucare Box With Sliding Lid (The sliding top box)

The Montessori Imbucare Box With Sliding Lid helps infants understand that objects continue to exist even when out of sight — a key step in cognitive development. 

By dropping the ball into the box and sliding the lid, the child develops:

• fine motor skills and wrist strength

• hand–eye coordination

• sensory awareness

• logical thinking

• understanding of action sequences

At first, the activity itself is captivating. Later, the box can become part of pretend play, a storage space for small treasures, or a tool for exploring other objects.
