Designed for toddlers 12 months and up, it promotes fine motor skills, color recognition, counting, and concentration through engaging, hands-on sorting and scooping activities. The set includes a natural linen storage bag and a birch tray for easy organization, all finished with a safe, natural wax coating and rigorously tested to EN 71 toy safety standards. ## Description 12 wooden balls 12 sorting cups 1 wooden bowl and 1 wooden spoon 1 linen bag for balls storage 1 wooden Montessori tray The bowl, balls, cups and spoon are made of wood and well polished. The colored parts are coated with BIOFA natural wax, safe for babies. Natural wax is delicate, and wood is water-sensitive, so we don't recommend washing the toy β€” it's better to use a dry cloth to wipe the parts gently. After the game, the set is placed in a wooden tray - this helps the child to develop a good habit of maintaining order. Watch the Magic of Learning Unfold This wooden balls sorter game aligns with Montessori 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. While playing the game your kid: trains the skills of visual attention, thinking, memory, develops sensory and fine motor skills, acquires the skills of perseverance, diligence, and attentiveness, learns concepts of colors, shapes, and quantity. Help the little one to hold the wooden ball with the fingers and send the ball to the cup. Learning colors. Start with the primary colors: yellow, red, green, and blue. There are no extra shades so that the child can easily recognize them. Introduce new colors one or two at a time. Develop auditory and speech memory: "Put a red ball in a blue cup, please." Children of this age especially need the attention and care of an adult. We highly recommend playing under adult supervision Sort the cups and balls by color Count balls and cups, compare their quantity Create and repeat color sequences Build high towers Catch a ball with a cup Train your memory by repeating sequences of objects Balls in Cups Wooden Balls for Sorters Starter Kit Balls in Cups Starter Kit Balls&Nests Balls&Nests Rainbow Balls in Cups Montessori-inspired pieces made from real wood, designed for small hands and growing minds. Ulanik began in a Czech family home, with parents looking for simple wooden toys they would gladly give to their own children. We choose visible grain, simple shapes, and a matte wax finish over glossy plastic or unnecessary decoration. Our toys invite children to sort, stack, match, carry, imagine, and begin again β€” without the toy deciding the whole story. Lightweight pieces are made for young children to hold, move, arrange, and put back on their own. From open shelves to playroom floors, our pieces are designed for everyday routines, repeated play, and easy cleanup. Our toys are designed with young children in mind and tested yearly to EN 71 toy safety standards. Colours, cups, balls, wooden peg dolls, trays, and home pieces are designed to work together in one simple wooden play system. ## Features - Montessori Play: Calm hands-on play with balls in cups as children pick up, place, sort, match, count, transfer, and repeat simple everyday routines - Included: 12 balls, 12 cups, 1 bowl, 1 spoon for scooping play, 1 linen bag for ball storage, and 1 birch plywood tray; the spoon is not designed to fit inside the cups - Early Practice: Invites children to practise hand-eye coordination, colour recognition, fine motor skills, and concentration through placing balls into matching cups and repeating movement patterns - Easy Storage: The tray keeps the pieces together between playtimes, while the linen bag makes the balls easy to store on home or classroom shelves, take to visits, pack for holidays, and put back after play - Made with Care: Basswood and birch plywood with visible wood grain, plus a linen storage bag; natural wax creates a matte, non-plastic tactile finish; tested yearly to EN 71 toy safety standards ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Age Range Description | 12 months and up | | Asin | B0CLH3NN4P | | Best Sellers Rank | 61,076 in Toys & Games (See Top 100 in Toys & Games) 485 in Sorting, Stacking & Plugging Toys | | Brand Name | Ulanik | | Colour | Multi, Rainbow, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Light Blue, Blue, Purple, Pink, Brown, Black, White, Grey | | Country Of Origin | Czech Republic | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (764) 4.7 out of 5 stars | | Educational Objective | Cognitive development, Colour recognition, Concentration, Counting skills, Fine motor skills, Hand-eye coordination, Role play, Shape and colour sorting | | Included Components | 1 birch plywood tray, 1 bowl for scooping and transferring, 1 linen storage bag for balls, 1 spoon (not intended to fit inside the cups), 12 balls, 12 cups | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Indoor | | Is Assembly Required | No | | Item Dimensions | 26.3 x 25 x 7.2 centimetres | | Item Type Name | Toy | | Manufacturer | Ulanik s.r.o. | | Manufacturer Contact Information | Ulanik s.r.o., Masna 19, Stare Mesto, Praha 1, Prague, 110 00, Czech Republic, Tel. +420608051438, Email cz@ulanik.com, Website https://www.ulanik.eu/en/ | | Manufacturer Part Number | SBS01C1205U | | Material Type | Basswood, Birch Plywood, Birch Wood, Linen Fabric, Wood | | Maximum Age Recommendation | 36 | | Minimum Age Recommendation | 12 | | Model Number | SBS01C1205U | | Number Of Packs | 1 | | Number Of Players | 1-4 | | Operation Mode | Manual | | Power Source | Manual | | Set Name | Ulanik Balls in Cups | | Size | Large | | Subject Character | Balls | | Supported Battery Types | No batteries required | | Theme | Educational | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Images ![Ulanik Balls in Cups Full Set Montessori Toys for 1 Year Old | Open-ended wooden sorting set; 12 clear colours; tray and bag for easy storage - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Mhk3lt75L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size Name** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful set *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 16 September 2025* Absolutely beautiful set, Bought for my son who absolutely loves it. We have used the cups for counting and colour matching, The quality is amazing and brightly coloured. I love how it all comes in a compact little wooden box to keep everything together ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful product, lovely quality *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 2 April 2025* Absolutely beautiful set. Bought for my daughter who absolutely loves it. So far the cups have been used for stacking, as tea cups, to put the balls inside and also as colour sorting pots to fill with the right coloured objects from around the house. The quality is amazing and I will definitely be purchasing more items. I love how their sets come in a wooden tray too as they're so easy to store altogether. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing wooden toy with so many ways to play *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 19 January 2023* This toy has been made with such love and care as its quality is amazing and I can tell that it will be so long lasting which is exactly what’s needed with young children. The colours are vibrant and the display tray is a brilliant idea as it displays beautifully on the kallax shelves for little ones to grab when they want to play.I love the fact that it suits both my children’s (ages 1 & 3) abilities and offers a variety of ways to be played with and can grow with my child.My one year old currently loves using her hands to place the balls into each cup and loves to pour them back out. She also loves attempting to build towers with the cups and knocking them down.My 3 year old loves to match the colours and helps his sister which is lovely to see them bond over an activity.We have more of their products on the way.
