Here little animal friends can match the colorful balls with the corresponding animals and numbers. Watch out, there are 2 wooden bars that can block your path....skillfully use your magnetic wand to move them out of the way! It's not only tons of fun, but it also fosters motor skills and aids in first comprehension of numbers.

A great toy to keep children quietly occupied in lobby's, restaurants, road trips and airplane rides. Works hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills way better than a tablet or phone ever could!
When children are ready, they can aim to get all the balls out of the center triangle and matched up with their correct number/color combination. For example, the five white balls turn into chicken eggs in the nest. The one blue ball goes with the cow, next to the Blue #1, The two red balls go with the horse next to the red #2 etc. At the end, challenge yourself to get the balls back into the triangle! Don't worry if your child is not ready for this aspect just yet, there is still plenty to enjoy in simply moving the beads around the board.
Each of the number stations have a slight recess allowing the balls to stay safe in their homes when children tilt the board (as will undoubtedly happen when playing on their laps!). The magnetic wand is just long enough to reach all parts of the maze but not too long so as to get tangled or present a safety hazard.
The strength of the magnetic wand often results in 2 or even 3 balls following behind when your child is trying to move only one. Frustrating right? Not to worry, this is by design! Figuring out how to use the roadblocks and other little alcoves to "hide" a certain color while allowing the color of your choice to pass is part of the fun.
When you are done, simply tuck away the magnetic wand in the conveniently provided storage slot and voila, cleanup is done! The number maze measures 9.5" in diameter making it small enough to tuck in a diaper bag or carry-on.
