Place the Disc
Part of the Educo 0–3 Grow & Develop Range, Place the Disc is an engaging wooden learning toy designed for children aged 14–17 months. The set features a sturdy wooden box with three mailboxes and six coloured wooden discs. Children match each disc to the corresponding-coloured drawer, opening and closing the built-in doors to retrieve them.
This simple yet captivating activity introduces little ones to the concept of object permanence understanding that objects still exist even when out of sight (the classic peek-a-boo effect). Fine motor skills, spatial awareness, and working memory are stimulated and developed. A beautifully crafted toy that blends play with discovery, Place the Disc helps toddlers develop foundational thinking and motor skills in a hands-on, interactive way. Wooden discs measure 4cm d. Wooden box measures 31.5 x 13 x 13cm. Suitable for ages 14-17 months.
