Features and gameplay
Core gameplay
- Use the magnet in Lily's beak to attract the bead and place it at the maze entrance so that the bead can move along the slides, gears, and windmills.
- The beads can trigger bells or character actions by passing through different mechanisms.
- Repeated operations on different path combinations enhance logical planning and prediction capabilities.
Parent-child activities
- Parents can first observe the maze structure with their children, and then guide them along the possible paths the beads might take.
- During gameplay, you can add dialogue such as "Where is Pearl going? What obstacles will it pass through?" to enhance verbal interaction.
Learning Objectives
Development orientation
- Fine motor skills and fine hand muscles: The operation of sucking and releasing beads strengthens finger control.
- Spatial and logical thinking: predicting the path of the beads and choosing a channel
- Language and narrative skills: Combining character stories and operational narratives
Specific benefits
Children can gradually understand the thinking of "where the bead goes → through the path → exit" through repeated manipulation and observation, laying a foundation for future engagement with puzzles, educational toys, and building blocks, establishing logic and spatial awareness.

Frequently Asked Questions
What age group is this 3D maze suitable for?
The official recommendation is for children aged 24 months and above (around 2 years old), but this can be adjusted earlier or later depending on the child's hand-eye coordination ability.
What are some common problems encountered when operating a maze?
If the bead gets stuck, you can first disassemble the slide to check for foreign objects or tilt the maze to help the bead pass through. In daily operation, you should avoid using excessive force.
Can it be played with in combination with other educational toys or building blocks?
The maze can be used as a tool to stimulate the path of the beads, and by combining it with building blocks to design additional structures, more varied ways to play can be created.
Is this a Montessori toy?
Although not a traditional Montessori teaching aid, its autonomous operation and multi-sensory exploration features can be integrated into the Montessori teaching environment.
What are its advantages compared to puzzles and building blocks?
It emphasizes dynamic movement and logical thinking, while puzzles and building blocks tend to focus on static graphics or structural manipulation, making them excellent early bridge toys.
Does it fall under the category of STEM toys?
Yes, its path and logic design incorporates basic STEM elements, making it suitable as a toy for early math and science education.
Will this toy train your balance like a balance board?
This product focuses on hand movements and logical thinking, and does not have body balance or balance training functions.
How to maintain and keep it running smoothly in the long term?
Regularly wipe the slides and structure to keep them clean and dust-free; if scratches are found, lightly sand them with fine sandpaper and then apply non-toxic paint.
