Funny Face

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!
