Children drop a ball at the top and watch it zigzag left and right down the open rails to the bottom. Durable rubberwood and a child-safe lacquer finish suit a Montessori home or classroom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: sustainably harvested rubberwood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: child-safe lacquer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesign: open-rail track, wide base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAge: from 18 months\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSizes: Large, Small\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy an open-rail design helps\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eClosed tracks hide the ball. Open rails let your child follow it the whole way down, which builds left-to-right and right-to-left tracking. Toddlers also work on coordination, problem solving and concentration as they line up each ball at the top and wait for it to drop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA wide base keeps the tracker steady, so it will not tip when a child leans on it. The rails are spaced so little hands and balls do not get stuck. Every surface on the frame and balls is smoothed, and the ball size meets child-safety rules for choking hazards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGrowing with your child\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn 18 month old enjoys dropping one ball and watching it travel. By two, your child starts lining up several balls in a row and timing each drop. Three year olds and older kids race balls, count the turns or set challenges for a sibling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlace the ball tracker on a low shelf where your child can reach it on their own, a key idea in Montessori rooms. Wipe the wood with a dry cloth and keep it away from water. Rubberwood is a hardwood, so the toy lasts through the preschool years and can pass to a younger sibling. Choose the large or the small size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSee more \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/toys-games-for-babies-kids\"\u003eMontessori toys and wooden learning toys\u003c\/a\u003e at Big Frenchies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DS-AMZ","offers":[{"title":"Large","offer_id":50654476927216,"sku":"AMZ-B09NL3FL2W","price":149.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Small","offer_id":50654476959984,"sku":"AMZ-B0DDZ9N591","price":99.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0434\/7985\/9361\/files\/71Ep1N0v1eL._AC_SL1500.jpg?v=1792810217","url":"https:\/\/www.bigfrenchies.com\/products\/montessori-ball-tracker-wooden-ball-drop-b09nl3fl2w","provider":"BIG FRENCHIES","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
