A cool mini toy - makes a great gift

Each of these four little mazes are irresistible for the child working on really fine finger motion. They won't even know how good their maze is for them! 4 styles available - Linking Loops, Pony Tails, School Bus, and Baby Bronto. All mini-mazes are 6"H.

Play Tip!

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. Small bead mazes have an extra challenge. They require very fine finger motion. These styles are best for children with mild to moderate fine motor delays.

Play Tip PLAY Tip

Teaching switch use to new switch-users!

Teach a new switch user about cause-and-effect by starting with an attractive switch that gives fun feedback itself. Switches that vibrate or play music are reinforcing all by themselves. Good examples are the Musical Bright Plate Switch and the Vibrating Mirror Plate Switch. Once the child understands that their action causes the effect, then you could attach a toy, Mini Fan, AM/FM Radio, Vibrating Pillow, or Tape Player to the switch. The child will soon learn that their touch has a real impact on the world around them!
