Our most popular Montessori materials for 6-9 months are now available in one bundle! Enjoy watching your little one start to work on puzzles as they begin to sit up and crawl after the ball roller cylinder as they interact with these materials. (Basket not included.)
Rolling Ball Cylinder:
This Montessori inspired rolling ball toy can be rolled or shaken and is great fun for the child who is learning to crawl and can chase after it. We recommend introducing it at about 7 months of age, or when learning to crawl, if earlier. The wooden balls on the inside make a very pleasant clacking sound as the toy is moved around. It is about 7 inches long and 2.5 inches wide.
All of the wood used in this rattle is finished with a homemade natural beeswax and olive oil blend.

The end caps are available in a variety of colors including natural, pink, green, yellow, and purple. The colors are created through homemade dyes, using all natural ingredients: blueberries, red cabbage, onions, beets, and turmeric. The colors are more subtle than commercial dyes and paints, giving the pieces a vintage look and keeping them completely natural.
Ball and Bowl (a bundle exclusive!):
A sturdy birch ball, 2 inches in diameter, finished in organic olive oil and beeswax and a small bowl for holding the ball. A very simple first puzzle for your little one!
Egg and Cup/Peg and Cup:
These toys are ideal for children around 8-9 months, because at this age they are naturally interested in fitting things together. These two items will provide them with lots of practice at this important skill. Each individual piece is about 2 inches tall.
These pieces are finished with a homemade natural beeswax and olive oil blend.
