Part of the Educo 0–3 Grow & Develop Range, the Cause-and-Effect Box supports the development of executive function skills that are strong predictors of later learning success. By planning actions, setting simple goals, and anticipating outcomes, children begin to practise early problem-solving and critical thinking.

The activity encourages exploration as children push the crocheted ball through the hole at the top and discover it again by opening the drawer. The textured ball also provides a rich sensory experience, engaging touch as well as sight and movement. The drawer opens but does not come out. Measures 15 x 15 x 11cm. Suitable for ages 18 - 22months.

Key Educational Benefits:

• Executive Function Skills – Encourages children to think ahead, plan steps, and anticipate outcomes.

• Cause & Effect Understanding – Demonstrates the link between actions (posting, opening) and results (retrieving the ball).

• Object Permanence – Reinforces the concept that objects continue to exist when out of sight.

• Fine Motor Skills – Strengthens grasping, pushing, and pulling movements.

• Hand–Eye Coordination – Develops accuracy when placing and retrieving the ball.

• Sensory Exploration – The crocheted ball adds tactile input to support multi-sensory learning.
