New classic Toys Double-sided magnetic maze, 18+ months , 6955273522558

This double-sided wooden educational board is suitable for toddlers who like to “touch“ and learn through movement. On one side, the child guides metal balls with a magnetic pen through the maze to ten colorful number cars. On the other side, they trace the outlines of the letters along the engraved lines - a calm preparation for writing.

Ideal for homework and for work in kindergarten or resource room - when you are looking for a game that develops skills without burdening.

Advice for parents

For busy parents: choose 5 minutes of “quiet time“ - just the board and the child. Instead of correcting immediately, ask a short question: “Which car has this number?“ or “Where does the letter start?“. This way the game remains calm, and the child thinks independently. It is also suitable for special children when you are looking for clear, predictable steps and focus without noise.

How to play

Place the board with the magnetic maze facing up. The child uses the magnetic pen to move the balls along the paths. Encourage the little ones to reach the cars with numbers from 1 to 10 - to look for a number according to your task or to count on their own. Turn the board over and show the engraved letters. With the wooden stick, the child follows the contours in the direction indicated by the arrows. Give short tasks: “Find car number 5“, “Trace the letter E“, “Move all the balls in 1 minute“ - this way the game remains dynamic and meaningful. Alternate free play and brief guidance to keep the activity enjoyable and light.
