Simple Ball Drop for Toddlers| DIY Sustainable Montessory Play

Looking for a simple ball drop for toddlers that supports learning through play and uses materials you already have at home? 🌿 In this video, I’m sharing a DIY sustainable ball drop activity made from a cardboard box and children’s previous painted artwork—perfect for toddlers around 1 year old and beyond. This gentle, Montessori-inspired activity is easy to prepare and encourages meaningful, hands-on learning using recycled materials. By cutting a hole in a cardboard box and wrapping it with old painted sheets, we create an engaging ball drop that toddlers can explore at their own pace. In this video, you’ll see how to: Make a simple ball drop using a cardboard box Reuse children’s old paintings for a sustainable activity Encourage toddlers to insert balls through the hole Name colours and practice early colour recognition Count ball drops together Introduce the concept of taking turns (even when it’s hard!) At around one year old, patience and turn-taking are still developing—and yes, there may be frustration or tears. That’s completely normal. With gentle guidance and repeated practice, children slowly build these important life skills. This activity supports: Fine motor skill development Hand-eye coordination Focus and concentration Early counting skills Patience and turn-taking Calm, mindful play At Joyful Nest, we believe in real homes, simple play, and joyful learning. This activity fits beautifully into gentle parenting and Montessori-inspired play, using what you already have to create meaningful learning moments. 💛 If you enjoyed this video: Like and share it with other parents or educators Subscribe to Joyful Nest for more simple toddler activities Comment below and tell me how your child responded to this activity Thank you for being part of our joyful learning community 🌼 #BallDropActivity #ToddlerActivities #MontessoriPlay #SustainablePlay
