Bead Coaster

A classic bead maze built for a toddler's very first taste of hands-on problem solving. Bright wooden beads in blue, green, yellow, red, and pink ride along looping wire tracks that rise, dip, and cross above a sturdy wooden base, and guiding them from one end to the other takes real hand-eye coordination as the wires curve in directions little hands don't always expect. There's nothing to assemble and nothing that comes apart, just the steady, satisfying motion of pushing each bead along, which makes it an easy toy to return to again and again without ever running out of ways to play. The colorful beads and looping wires are also simply nice to look at in motion, holding a toddler's visual attention the way a moving mobile does. Crafted in Germany, where goki has been building wooden toys for generations, it carries the same lasting quality the brand is known for. A dependable classic for building focus and coordination, for little hands ages 1 and up.
