5.0 out of 5 stars best of the mazes available, February 11, 2007

For my almost 3 year old, I wanted a toy that would last for a while. This is perfect because she can use it now and for the next year or two at least. After that, it is always a loved toy whoever plays with it.

I found the others available to be too simple and limited in their use.

Don't be fooled by the colors on the maze. This is a solid product and is exceptional in every way. I haven't tried it while driving in the car, but I will see if it's good for long rides as well while in the carseat.

At home otherwise, it's perfect to play with mommy or another child alongside (two wands)

Great wood quality...seems that it will stand the test of time. My 3 year old loves doing mazes on paper so I thought he might like this. He does like it quite a bit, and likes that he can be one color and I can be another and we can "race" to get the balls in the circle. The only minor irritant is that the magnet pen can move 2 or 3 balls at once so they sometimes get stuck together, but with a little shaking it's fixed.

This toy was a gift for my 4 yr old. The construction is very sturdy, thick piece of wood, durable top cover and 'pens'. My 1 yr old got a hold of a pen a dragged the toy around a bit, and the pen stayed attached and secure. Unfortunately, my child does not play with this toy. The neighborhood friends who come over have also not shown a lot of interest in it. I think it is great quality, but I guess the fun factor is just not there.
