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
Pon Pon: Sensory Integration, Balance and Coordination
A great indoor/outdoor toy, especially for children with mild balance and coordination issues or general developmental delays. Start with simply bouncing in place and then work up to real bouncing. The strong kinesthetic stimulation can help some children with autism "click" into attentiveness. Good for indoor winter exercise in cold northern climes.
