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.
