At around eight months, or when your baby begins to sit unassisted, it is a time to introduce a Montessori Egg Cup! As simple as it is, the egg cup is physically fascinating to babies.
At that age, infants are fascinated by putting objects in and out of other objects and starting to observe how things fit or stack together. The Egg Cup is such a simple tool for curbing their curiosity, practicing a whole-hand grip and refining essential motor skills.
The wooden Egg Cup will motivate your baby to use both hands at the same time—a skill that’s important for actions like getting dressed, writing or riding a bicycle. An intense practice using both hands at once is necessary for improving the speed of communication between the two hemispheres of the growing brain.
