Baby-Box 10 - 12 months “Match & sort”

The Most Important Developmental Milestones for Babies Aged 10–12 Months

Baby, Pullover, Strick, Beige, Fröhlich

10–12 Months: 
Matching, Sorting & Discovering Connections

Together with child development experts, we created the Baby-Box 10–12 months "Match & sort", specially designed for babies aged 10 to 12 months. During this exciting stage of development, your baby becomes increasingly purposeful and intentional in their actions. They begin to match, sort and place objects deliberately while recognising their first logical connections. The carefully selected toys provide a variety of engaging play experiences and support your baby as they gain a deeper understanding of the world around them, discover relationships and explore their own solutions through play.

Between 10 and 12 months, your baby becomes increasingly curious about how things belong together. They begin to match, sort, compare and experiment with different ways of solving simple tasks. The Baby-Box 10–12 months "Match & sort" supports this exciting stage of development with age-appropriate toys that encourage a wide range of skills and provide new opportunities for success and discovery every day.

  • Matching & Sorting: Your baby begins to compare, group and sort objects according to their first recognisable characteristics. In doing so, they develop an early understanding of relationships and categories.
  • Grasping & Placing: Grasping, placing, stacking and positioning objects becomes increasingly precise. Fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination and concentration continue to develop with every new attempt.
  • Comparing & Classifying: Different sizes, shapes, colours and textures are explored, compared and grouped. Through play, your baby develops an early understanding of similarities, differences and simple categories.
  • Thinking & Understanding: Your baby increasingly understands which objects belong together and how their own actions influence the outcome. Repetition provides reassurance while helping them recognise patterns, understand simple relationships and develop their own solutions.
  • Independent Discovery: As your baby becomes more mobile, they explore their surroundings with increasing confidence and independence. They enjoy trying new things, gaining valuable experiences and building self-confidence through every successful discovery.

Product information "Baby-Box 10 - 12 months “Match & sort”"

Arrange, sort and recognise coherences playfully! This Baby-Box and the toys it contains are specifically designed and composed for the development phase between the 10th and 12th month of life. Babies act in a considerably more targeted manner at this age: They insert, sort, stack and compare items and start to recognise simple arrangements and relationships. The game materials included are based on the important development steps during this phase, such as the targeted placement of items recognition of size and shape differences, the comparison of materials as well as the further refinement of fine motor skills, coordination of the hands and eyes and concentration. The 2-in-1 stacking tower encourages trying out different insertion options horizontally and vertically. With a wooden ball, the Imbucare box imparts the principle of disappearing and finding again (object permanence) and serves as a sorting box together with the language coins. The jigsaw puzzle encourages first solution by size, whilst the bowl set together with the silicone structure balls and wooden egg encourages calm balancing and placement games as well as the recognition of colour and size classification. With an advisory booklet full of game ideas and background information about child development. All wooden toys in this box are made of FSC® 100%-certified wood. The carefully compiled toy selection for the Baby-Box 10 - 12 months “Match & sort” supports babies in structuring their surroundings increasingly consciously and in recognising initial coherences independently. Actions are carried out in a targeted manner, repeated and varied. Items are sorted, inserted, put down and rearranged. Here initial experience is made with size ratios, shapes, categories and spatial relationships. All game materials used for the toy set are selected to complement each other in their use and address different areas of development. Insertion, sorting and stacking games encourage precise hand movement, targeted force regulation and stamina. Different materials, surfaces and shapes encourage comparison, support sensory perception and early logical thinking. Repeatable game procedures ensure that babies experience the effect of their action and develop a feeling of self-efficacy. A practical complete package arises as a result of the coordinated composition, consisting of suitable toys for this development phase. The set provides parents or present-givers security when selecting age-appropriate toys as well as distinct orientation which playing impulses make good sense for babies between the 10th and 12th month of their life. The diversity of the toys provides for ever-changing play scenarios which can be flexibly integrated into everyday life – calm, clear and without being over-demanding. Each individual toy fulfils a clearly defined purpose and accompanies babies over the course of several weeks.

Imbucare Box

Drop it in, watch it disappear and discover it again – the Imbucare Box fascinates your baby time and time again.
