PlanToys Baby Tissue Box Montessori Sensory Pulling Toy 6m+

The PlanToys Baby Tissue Box is a reusable wooden sensory and pulling toy for babies from 6 months, with four soft colourful chiffon tissues to pull, grasp, scrunch, wave, push back in and discover again and again. If your baby has ever made a determined grab for a packet of wipes or tissues, they already know exactly what to do with this one.

The soft chiffon tissues add lots of tactile and visual sensory play. Babies can explore the feel of the fabric in their hands, watch it move and float as they wave it, notice the different colours, pull it through the openings and experiment with how much force they need to use. PlanToys specifically describes the Baby Tissue Box as supporting sensory development, fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination through pulling, inserting and exploring.

There is plenty happening here around sensory exploration, object permanence and cause and effect. A tissue disappears inside the box and reappears again, helping babies begin to understand that something still exists even when it cannot be seen. Pulling and pushing the cloths also gives an immediate action-and-result experience, while the texture, colour and movement of the fabric keep the play interesting for little hands and eyes. PlanToys specifically highlights object permanence and cause and effect for this toy.

Reaching for the fabric, grasping it, pulling it through an opening and eventually pushing it back inside all support fine motor control, hand-eye coordination and purposeful movement. Babies can practise different grasping techniques, build strength and control in their hands and fingers, and work out how to get the fabric through the openings.

The simple repeated action makes this a lovely Montessori-inspired sensory toy too. It gives babies a clear activity to explore at their own pace, with lots of opportunity for repetition, concentration and increasingly independent play. PlanToys includes the Baby Tissue Box in its Montessori-inspired collection.

It would make a brilliant first Christmas, baby shower or first birthday gift, particularly for a baby who has reached the stage of pulling wipes from packets, emptying containers and investigating anything that can be taken out and put back in. It gives them that same satisfying experience in a reusable toy made for the job.

Made sustainably in Thailand using rubberwood, chiffon fabric and organic pigments.
