This engaging toy includes a wooden bucket and four soft cloth \"tissues\" that babies pull, insert and explore through top and bottom openings. As they grasp, remove and re-insert the cloths, infants develop fine motor control, strengthen hand-eye coordination and gain sensory awareness. The process of taking out and placing back the tissues introduces early understanding of cause and effect and object permanence - \"things still exist even when hidden\" - then encourages curious exploration. Designed for independent play, the travel-friendly bucket is easy for small hands to carry and encourages self-directed engagement. Crafted with care in Thailand using chemical-free rubberwood, non-toxic glue, chiffon fabric and organic pigments, it reflects PlanToys' dedication to sustainable, safe and environmentally considerate play.

PlanToys Montessori-Inspired Sorting Boat encourages sorting and sequencing as children match 3D geometric shapes to their corresponding slots on the boat. It helps develop classification skills, order recognition, and an understanding of relationships between objects, while enhancing hand-eye coordination, fine motor skills, and problem-solving abilities. Set includes: 1 base with 3 holes, 3 solid blocks (triangle, cylinder, cube), and 3 hollow blocks (triangle, cylinder, square). The base acts as a simple \"deck\"  where shapes can be stacked, nested and ordered, inviting step-by-step play as children experiment with which piece goes where. Sorting by shape and colour supports early maths thinking, while the hands-on nature of placing, removing and sequencing blocks encourages persistence and self-correction. Sustainably made in Thailand using chemical-free rubberwood, non-toxic glue, and water-based dyes, this Sorting Boat is a thoughtful choice for Montessori-inspired shelves, table-top invitations and quiet learning spaces in early childhood settings.
