Sitting in a high chair is so much more fun for little ones when they can play with this eye-catching bead maze. The colorful toy features 18 multi-shaped beads and three plastic rings that spin and slide along soft-coated wire pathways that are anchored by a strong suction cup base. The First Bead Maze toy has been designed to encourage development of multiple critical skills in children 12 months and above. They can practice sensory skills, fine motor skills, and hand-eye coordination while they enjoy independent play. Parents will appreciate the sturdy construction and solid wood blocks that display quality craftsmanship for extended safe use.

I bought something similar, without the base suction cups, for my 1st grandson years ago. He’s 4 yrs old now and still plays with it. This is for my newest grandson, he’s 6mos old and is intrigued by it. Very nicely made.

Awesome bead maze! Bought for my 9 month old who is learning to use the toy. Love that it has suction cups to use on his high chair. Such a good quality toy, and will last for many years and children to come. Thank you, Melissa and Doug for an affordable, quality learning toy.

Why include plastic?
3 out of 5 stars
concerned grandma - 1 year ago, Verified purchaser
Somewhat disappointed that for a company that boasts of sustainability focus on their products that plastic is included in this toy. The three plastic yellow rings could have easily been replaced by wood. I'll be cutting those off.

Love that this toy keeps my 10 mo entertained when she’s done with her food and I’m still eating. Easy to clean as well, and does stick to her tray

Love this toy as we can place it on the hi-chair after feeding the babies, and have our meal. Grandsons have moved from just spinning the beads to moving them through the tracks.
Won’t recommend it

So high quality, I know it will last! My baby plays with this at her highchair: I specifically bought it because of the suction cups on the bottom! Perfect to keep her occupied so I can work on things in the kitchen and/or make dinner!
Great toy!

We bought this toy for our 5 month old grandson for Christmas and he really has engaged with it. Loved that it will stay put on the table with suction cups on the bottom which kept him busy during holiday meals. Very pleased with quality and design. I think I will buy all my shower gifts and children gifts from here!

My only complaint is the suction cups that hold it down. They need those little tabs on them that help break the suction. We move this toy around and it is always a pain trying to unstick it.
I would recommend this toy for someone else to try.

This is a nice toy my son likes playing with beads but problem is paint keeps chipping off and paint bleeds onto beads and paint marks all over. Not safe since my son occasionally wants to put it in his mouth.

My son loves the maze! I'm in my 30's so growing up we had the bead mazes at our doctors office. I bought this because I remember playing with it. -He is 9 months but he will play this maze 30-45minutes. Great highchair toy!
Looks well made.

Has suction cups on bottom, so will be great to play with on airplane. It can be attached to the seat tray.
