# The Felt Bunny Burrow, the Object Permanence Box, and 4 Other Lovevery Items Worth Buying Individually
Bottom line up front: not every Lovevery favorite is available the same way. Some items — like the object permanence box — are sold standalone, new, directly by the brand and through retail partners, with confirmed current pricing. Others, like the felt bunny burrow, show up reliably on the secondhand market but don't appear to be sold new as a standalone item at all, meaning your only real path to owning just that one piece is buying used or getting the full kit. This guide covers six of the most frequently sought-after individual items across the Lovevery lineup, and is explicit about which category each one falls into — because "can I buy just this one thing" has a genuinely different answer depending on which item you're asking about.
This is a companion to our Slide & Seek Ball Run breakdown, which covers the single most-searched individual item in the entire lineup in full depth — that item doesn't get repeated here beyond a brief mention, since it already has its own dedicated guide.
For each item below, we note three things: new-purchase availability (confirmed standalone, or kit-only), the age range and box it comes from (per our box-by-box durability audit), and realistic pricing, drawn from actual retail listings where a standalone new option exists, or from observed secondhand listing patterns where it doesn't. We're not going to invent a "new" price for an item we couldn't confirm is sold that way — where the honest answer is "we only found secondhand data," that's what you'll read below.
From: The Inspector Play Kit (7-8 months) New-purchase status: Confirmed standalone, sold directly and through retail partners including Target and Babylist.
This is the classic Montessori object permanence box — a small wooden drawer-and-ball unit where a baby drops a ball into a slot, watches it disappear, and opens a drawer to retrieve it, building an early understanding that objects continue to exist even when out of sight. It's officially listed at 5.28" x 5.71" x 5.71", about 1.2 pounds, made from birch and plywood with FSC-certified sourcing and water-based, non-toxic finishes, and ships as a two-piece set (box plus one ball).
Confirmed current pricing: Standalone new pricing runs $24.99-$28.96 depending on retailer — Target and Babylist list it at the lower end, Walmart slightly higher. Customer ratings on the item specifically run strong (4.9 out of 5 across available reviews). Used units on secondhand marketplaces have been observed around $22-23.
Why it's worth buying individually: This is one of the most consistently praised single items across Lovevery's entire early lineup, and per our durability audit, object permanence boxes generally hold up extremely well to repeated use — there's very little that can break on a simple drawer-and-ball mechanism. If you're not subscribing to the full Inspector kit but want this one specific, well-regarded developmental toy, the confirmed standalone availability makes it one of the easiest "just buy the one thing" decisions in this whole guide.
From: The Babbler Play Kit (13-15 months) New-purchase status: Not confirmed as a current standalone new offering — available reliably on the secondhand market instead.
Three small felt bunny figures that tuck into a felt burrow pouch, designed for bilateral coordination and early containment/retrieval play — a baby or young toddler practices putting the bunnies "away" and taking them back out, a simple but genuinely engaging fine-motor and object-relationship activity. Made from wool felt, officially recommended for the 12-18 month range.
Observed pricing: We couldn't confirm this item is currently sold new as a standalone piece through Lovevery's own site or retail partners the way the object permanence box is. What we do have is consistent secondhand pricing: used listings across multiple sellers cluster in the $14-22 range, generally in good condition with only minor wool pilling noted as the most common wear pattern.
Why it's still worth buying individually: Even without a confirmed new-purchase path, the secondhand market for this specific item is active and consistent enough that finding one used isn't difficult — worth checking Lovevery's own Pre-Loved marketplace first per our resale guide, since a used purchase through that channel comes with the platform's own condition grading, which an independent eBay or Facebook Marketplace listing doesn't offer.
From: The Inspector Play Kit (7-8 months) New-purchase status: Not independently confirmed as a standalone new offering in this research — treat as kit-only unless you find a current listing.
Simple nesting and stacking cups, among the most frequently cited "still in daily rotation two kids later" items across parent reviews referenced throughout this content series. Near-indestructible by design — there's no mechanism to break, no small detachable pieces, just solid nested wood pieces.
Observed pricing: We don't have a confirmed standalone new listing for this specific item, but per the general secondhand resale patterns established in our resale valuation guide, individual toddler-stage toys without original packaging typically run $13-15 used — a reasonable planning estimate for this item specifically, given its similar profile (single-category toy, no complex mechanism) to the items that informed that broader pricing pattern.
Why it's still worth seeking out: If you already own a partial Inspector kit or are trying to fill a specific gap for a second child, stacking cups are exactly the kind of item worth a secondhand search rather than a full kit re-purchase, given how well they're documented to survive repeated use across two or more children.
From: The Realist Play Kit (19-21 months) New-purchase status: Not confirmed new standalone; consistently available secondhand.
A sturdy wooden box with a working lock mechanism, designed for fine-motor practice and an early introduction to cause-and-effect problem-solving through a real (if simplified) locking action. Per our durability audit, this is one of the more structurally sound items in the toddler-stage lineup — a single, sturdy unit without fragile loose components.
Observed pricing: A confirmed real secondhand listing for this exact item — "The Realist Play Kit" lockbox — was found at $22.00 used, consistent with the general $13-25 range typical of individual toddler-stage items on the secondhand market.
Why it's worth buying individually: If your household already has most of a Realist kit through hand-me-down or resale and just needs this one piece to complete it, or if your older child specifically loved this item and you want a second unit rather than fighting over the original, the secondhand market for this specific item appears active enough to make a targeted search worthwhile rather than defaulting to a full kit purchase.
From: The Explorer Play Kit (9-10 months) New-purchase status: Not confirmed as a Lovevery-branded standalone offering; comparable third-party sets are a realistic substitute if a genuine Lovevery-branded standalone isn't available.
Simple, chunky wooden blocks — one of the most universally durable items across the entire lineup, built to survive being thrown, chewed, and stood on, and one of the items our durability audit flags as generating real simultaneous-use appeal between close-age siblings (meaning: expect some conflict over this one specifically once a younger sibling is mobile).
Observed pricing: We don't have confirmed standalone Lovevery-branded pricing for this specific item. For reference, comparable wooden unit block sets from established brands (Melissa & Doug, Hape) typically run $30-50 for a 20-40 piece set, per the general market pricing referenced in our core pricing ledger — a reasonable substitute if you can't find the Lovevery-branded version specifically and want a comparably durable option.
Why it's worth seeking out (or substituting): Given how well documented wooden blocks are for surviving two kids' combined use, this is a strong candidate for either a secondhand Lovevery-branded search or a reputable third-party equivalent if the original isn't readily available.
From: The Senser Play Kit (5-6 months) New-purchase status: Not confirmed as a standalone offering; likely low individual resale value given its simplicity.
A simple, solid single-piece wooden or firm-material ball designed for early visual tracking, reaching, and rolling play. Per our durability audit, this is one of the cleanest, lowest-friction items in the entire early lineup — nothing to lose, nothing to break.
Observed pricing: We don't have specific listing data for this item sold individually, and given how simple and low-cost an item like this typically is, it's more commonly found bundled with other Senser-stage items in a secondhand listing than sold entirely on its own — worth searching for as part of a small lot rather than expecting a dedicated standalone listing.
Why it's still worth mentioning: Even without confirmed standalone pricing, this item's simplicity and durability make it one of the safer "just get one somehow" choices if you find it bundled with other early-stage items in a secondhand lot, since there's very little condition risk with an item this structurally simple.
Stepping back from the six items above, a pattern emerges worth internalizing before you go searching for a seventh: standalone new availability is the exception, not the rule, across Lovevery's lineup. Only a handful of items — the object permanence box covered here, and the Slide & Seek Ball Run covered in our dedicated guide — have confirmed, current standalone new listings through the brand's own channels or major retail partners. Most other individually-sought items exist in a secondhand-only market, which is real and often reliable, but comes without the manufacturer warranty, guaranteed current condition, or fixed pricing that a confirmed new listing offers.
If an item you want isn't confirmed as a standalone new offering, your realistic paths are: Lovevery's official Pre-Loved resale marketplace (best condition assurance among secondhand options, per our resale guide), general secondhand marketplaces like eBay or Facebook Marketplace (more variable condition and pricing, but often more listings to choose from), or, for structurally simple items like blocks or balls, a comparable third-party equivalent from an established wooden-toy brand.
How do I know if a specific Lovevery item is currently sold standalone, new? Check Lovevery's own site directly and major retail partners (Target, Babylist, Walmart have all carried standalone Lovevery items per this research) — availability does change over time, so an item without confirmed standalone status today could become available later, and vice versa.
Is buying secondhand for these items as safe as buying new, hygiene-wise? Follow the full inspection and cleaning checklist in our sibling hygiene guide before introducing any secondhand item to your household, regardless of which of these six items it is — wood, fabric, and felt each have their own safe-cleaning approach covered there.
Why don't more of these items have confirmed standalone new pricing? We can't speak to Lovevery's specific product strategy, but the pattern across this research suggests the brand prioritizes standalone availability for a small number of especially popular, standout items (the object permanence box, the Ball Run) while keeping the broader catalog subscription-exclusive — a reasonable business approach, though it does mean secondhand search is often your best option for anything outside that short list.
Should I just buy the full kit instead of hunting for one item secondhand? Depends on the math specific to your situation — if you need three or more items from a given kit, a full kit purchase (new or through Pre-Loved) is often more cost-efficient than assembling the equivalent secondhand, per the per-item versus full-kit pricing patterns discussed throughout this content series. If you genuinely only want one or two specific pieces, individual secondhand search is usually the better value.
Are any of these six items choking hazards for a younger sibling, given how commonly they're bought individually for pass-down? The stacking cups, blocks, and Montessori ball are generally larger-format and lower small-parts risk. The object permanence box's ball component and the felt burrow's small bunny figures warrant closer supervision once a younger sibling is mobile — apply the same mobility-based safety reassessment covered in our storage and rotation guide.
Does buying these items individually undercut the sibling pass-down math covered elsewhere in this content series? Not really — the broader pass-down math assumes you're weighing a full subscription against a full DIY alternative. Buying one or two specific standout items individually, whether to fill a gap or resolve sibling competition over a shared favorite, is a narrower decision that sits alongside that broader math rather than replacing it.
Is there a risk that "used, good condition" listings for felt or wool items like the bunny burrow have hygiene issues not visible in photos? Yes, reasonably — felt and wool don't show wear or residue as visibly as wood does, which is exactly why the material-specific hand-washing guidance in our hygiene guide matters most for this category of item before it reaches a second child, regardless of how clean a listing photo makes it look.
Do prices for these items fluctuate seasonally, or are the ranges in this guide stable year-round? Secondhand pricing for baby and toddler items generally softens somewhat outside of peak baby-registry and holiday-gifting seasons, so the ranges in this guide are reasonable planning estimates rather than fixed prices — expect some seasonal variation either direction.
For the full lineup these six items come from, see our box-by-box durability audit, and for the one item popular enough to warrant its own dedicated cost breakdown, our Slide & Seek Ball Run guide.

One Play Gym costs $150 new and is a genuine two-baby question: true twins may need tight spacing, supervision, or a second unit, while staggered siblings get one of the cleanest pass-down cases in the entire series. The real dimensions, weight limit, and math.
Lovevery's recurring complaints — overpriced, kids engage with 1-2 items, toys outgrown fast — change meaning once a second child is in the picture. An honest reframing that separates what sibling math fixes from what it doesn't.
Across a full 12 months, Lovevery recovers more of its cost through resale and takes up less shelf and floor space than a self-assembled Amazon collection — but the DIY route still wins on raw flexibility. Run against real resale listings, not a marketing number.
A box-by-box audit of Lovevery's 0–24 month lineup: which kits pass down cleanly to sibling #2 and which barely pass down at all. Budget from the real 45–65% recovery number, not the 'half the cost' headline.
