What's in the Box
- This toy is the next level challenge to the traditional object durable box, a two-way baby coin box that allows you to experience opening, closing and putting items into the holes; the other side of the box is the door lock, allowing the child to experience the action of opening the door.
- Although coins fit into the holes in every position, your child will need to open the drawer to retrieve the coins, not just fall out.The door is a design that can be opened.
- This enhances hand-eye coordination, attention, and curiosity about the disappearance and reappearance of objects.
- After they have opened the drawer to discover the coin is still there, watch as they perform this same task over and over again until they master the skill.
