Spring-a-ling

Note: Review only, product no longer for sale.

Winner of the 1991 Parents' Choice Silver Medal Award!

Take a bead maze with you anywhere! Small hand-held bead maze is portable, pliable, playful and fun. The Springaling builds counting skills, colour identification, fine motor skills, and enhances depth perception. The maze is made of "memory" wire, so it springs back to shape after taking a bang. The bright beads on dark wire make this toy a winner for children with low vision.

Play Tip!

Encourage children to use two hands together. Try first simply shaking the toy. (it has a lovely shaky feel) Then by turning the toy, the child will cause the beads to move. Finally, have the child hold the Springaling with one hand, and slide the beads with the fingers of the other hand. Take it on long car rides, or for waiting rooms!
