The object permanence drawer is a classic Montessori material. During early childhood, children love placing objects into holes or containers. This drawer teaches that an object doesn’t disappear even when it goes out of sight. The ball is designed so that some effort is required to place it into the box.
The baby pulls out the drawer to find the ball, developing wrist strength and hand motor skills.
During this play, new neural connections are formed. This is especially true if the child hurriedly places the ball in the box but needs to remember to close the drawer. It’s important not to correct the child’s mistake because Montessori toys are designed with self-correction in mind. This design instills confidence in the effectiveness of these tools. The child will realize on their own where the solution lies. They’ll need to pull out the drawer, retrieve the ball, and then replace the drawer.
