The Masterkidz wooden magnetic maze prepares a child's hand for writing and turns dull exercises into an exciting game.

In this magnetic maze children use a safe magnetic pen to guide colourful metal balls along four winding paths in different geometric shapes. Tasks get harder step by step – from simple movements to precise manoeuvring. The maze is closed: the balls sit under a clear cover and can't fall out, and the pen is attached with a string so it never gets lost. That makes it ideal for travel too. The sturdy wooden body stands up to intense play.

What your child develops

• Fine motor skills. Guiding the pen precisely.
• Pre-writing. The hand learns to follow a line.
• Hand-eye coordination. Steering the ball correctly.
• Shape recognition. Paths in different shapes.

How to play

Start with the simplest path and slowly guide the ball to the end. Then move on to harder ones.

Time how fast your child guides all the balls and try to beat it next time.

A great gift

The magnetic maze is a great pre-school and travel gift.
