Montessori Coin Box
A handmade Montessori coin box from Latvia. Baby posts three wooden coins through the top, then slides open the drawer to find them again.
Drop a coin in, hear it fall, open the drawer, and there it is again. This Montessori coin box turns a baby's favourite question — where did it go? — into a game they can play by themselves, over and over.
The little drawer is the whole secret. Opening it is a small everyday task, just like grown-ups do, and behind it waits the satisfaction that the coin was never really lost.

Goes well with
Wonderful quality as always! Round corners, soft wood — every detail is as safe for a toddler as it has to be. I like that it's light enough for a toddler to work with and carry, but also heavy in a good way, because for me that means quality.
