Traveling in a car can be a bore for kids – have you tried taking the train? The Choo Choo Tracks Magnetic Marble Maze from Hape/Educo is a train-shaped magnetic maze that's perfect for keeping your child entertained in the car, on a plane, or in the doctor's office, while testing his hand-eye coordination.
The objective of Choo Choo Tracks is to use the magnetic wand to guide three red and three blue balls around the tracks inside the wooden maze, which is designed to hit that sweet spot in which an activity is challenging enough to keep kids occupied for a long time, but easy enough that they won't get frustrated and quit. In addition to refining his hand-eye coordination, the Hape/Educo Choo Choo Tracks Magnetic Marble Maze builds your child's problem solving and visual tracking skills.
But most of all Choo Choo Tracks is designed to entertain kids on the go. The sturdy Baltic birch plywood frame can handle being dropped, and an acrylic cover keeps the marbles enclosed; the magnetic wand is attached and has its own slot. A carrying handle is built into the shape of the train, and when playtime is done, the Choo Choo Tracks magnetic maze is small and light enough to fit neatly into your purse or diaper bag. Measures 7.5" x 6.5"; recommended for ages two and up.
