Note: Review only, product no longer for sale.
The friendliest maze around! (and a powerful learning tool too)
Every play wire requires a different hand movement to transfer the beads from one side to the other. The basic hand movements needed for handwriting are practiced. Moving each kind of bead produces a different sight and sound. Recommended for children with visual impairments and/or hearing deficits. Trace the clown's features on the patterned base. 12"L x 10"W x 16"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. The funny-face is the most interesting and varied of all of the styles. This style is best for children with mild to moderate fine motor delays, and is especially suitable for low vision and blind children. kids love finding the clown's face!

Children with Special Needs and Good Eating Habits
Teaching children with special needs good eating and drinking skills is important to do from the start - a bad habit can be very hard to break! To teach putting the cup back at the correct place on the table just put the Cup Detector where you want the cup to go and watch children eagerly put their cup there to get the reward of lights and music. This can easily be taken to school or daycare to help teach the skill across many settings.
