PLAY Tip
Bead Mazes perfect for children with Down Syndrome or Visual Impairments
Learning only happens when a child is interested enough to WANT to participate. Bead mazes teach a huge variety of skills. (cognitive, motor, perceptual, and language) but their true strength is the excellent play value kids find in these open-ended toys. This style is best for children with mild to moderate fine motor delays, and is especially suitable for low vision and blind children.
