Bead coaster

Every bead gets its own roller-coaster ride on this wooden bead maze, where tall red, yellow, and blue wires climb, loop, and swoop high above a ladder-style wooden base. Round beads, little cubes, and flat discs in bright red, yellow, green, and blue start low at one end, then climb over the big arches and drop down the other side with a gentle push from small fingers. Because the beads stay threaded on their wires, little ones can push, pull, and change direction as often as they like without anything coming loose. Steering a cube around a tight loop takes a different touch than sliding a round bead down a long hill, so hands learn to adjust with every ride, building coordination and fine motor control along the way. Painted in bright, water-based colors, safe for little hands and ASTM-tested. For kids ages 1 and up.
