Ulanik Balls in Cups Toddler Montessori Toys

Once upon a time, two parents decided to create better toys for their little ones. This is how our wooden toy factory, Ulanik, was created. Manufactured in Europe, we've started in Prague, Czech Republic, and now we are happy to share our discoveries with the whole world.

At Ulanik, we rely on the basic principles of the Montessori pedagogical system so that our products can help children discover their abilities. Our simple but effective toys are designed to make the life of parents easier and childhood brighter.

One of our popular products is the Balls in Cups sorting game. This wooden ball sorter aligns with Montessori and Waldorf education methods, encouraging self-guided exploration and discovery. As an open-ended toy, it perfectly suits both toddlers and older kids and has no limits in inventing imaginative ways to play.

The set contains 12 wooden balls, 12 sorting cups, a wooden bowl and spoon, a linen bag for ball storage, and a wooden Montessori tray. The materials used are wood and natural wax, ensuring safety for babies.

When playing the "Balls in Cups" game, your child will train skills such as visual attention, thinking, memory, sensory and fine motor skills, as well as develop perseverance, diligence, and attentiveness. They will also learn concepts of colors, shapes, and quantity, and get acquainted with the ideas of "same-different," "suitable - not suitable," and "correct-incorrect."

For children aged 1-3 years, we recommend playing under adult supervision. The little ones can learn to hold the wooden ball with their fingers and send it to the cup, or hide different objects under the wooden cups and cover the ball with a cup.

Older children, aged 3-5 years, can sort the cups and balls by color, starting with primary colors. They can also use the spoon to develop motor skills further, play sound and speech memory games, and count and compare the quantity of balls and cups.

The Balls in Cups game is part of our Ulanik Sorting Balls Series, which includes various options, such as the larger Balls in Cups set, Balls on Plates, Rainbow Balls in Cups, and Balls in Cups Start. All our toys are designed with care, tested for safety, and come with instructions and game ideas in multiple languages, accessible via QR code.

Whether you're looking for a gift for a toddler or preschooler, or want to add a versatile and educational toy to your child's collection, the Balls in Cups game is an excellent choice. It's a thoughtful gift for birthdays, Christmas, Easter, or any occasion, and a great way to support your little one's development through play.
