PlanToys Montessori-Inspired Baby Tissue box

The Baby Tissue Box from PlanToys invites little ones into a world of tactile delight and developmental discovery. 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. With its Montessori-inspired approach, this toy brings purposeful movement and purposeful play together, supporting real developmental milestones in a beautifully simple and thoughtful way.

Educational Benefits

• Supports development of fine motor skills as babies grasp and manipulate the cloth tissues through the openings.
• Builds hand-eye coordination as infants watch, reach and insert the tissues, strengthening purposeful movement.
• Introduces concepts of cause and effect and object permanence: babies learn that pulling out a "tissue"  and putting it back changes what happens next.
• Fosters sensory development and curiosity through natural materials and tactile textures, encouraging exploration and engagement.

Classroom Ideas

• Place the tissue box in your "exploration corner"  and invite each child to take turns pulling out a cloth, discussing what happens and then placing it back in - reinforce language like "in" , "out" , "pull" , "push" .
• Use alongside a soft cloth tray of different textured fabrics, and let children compare how each feels when pulled through the holes - extending sensory vocabulary.
• In circle time, invite children to pass the bucket around and each child takes one cloth out, then they place it back and say what they did - practising turn-taking and sequencing language.
• Incorporate it into a tidy-up routine: after play, children can count the cloths and place each one back inside the bucket, promoting number recognition and responsibility for materials.
