HABA Town Maze Magnetic Busy Board & Travel Toy for Toddlers Ages 2 & Up

This HABA magnetic maze has been a total win for our family! My toddler stays focused and engaged, especially on car rides or quiet time at home. It’s mess-free, totally self-contained, and the magnetic wand is the perfect size for little hands. I love that it builds fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination without any loose parts to lose. Plus, it’s sturdy and well-made — typical HABA quality. Highly recommend for ages 2–4!

So this toy is perfect for young toddlers. It’s on the simpler side to some other puzzles like this that we have. This one requires less skill. But still presents a challenge for toddlers. Also the magnet is super strong compared to other ones we have used. This magnet can do 2-3 beads at once. Which is nice but also makes it difficult when using the slider and wheel. But overall my toddler is very happy. So am I. Lastley the string for the wand is pretty short compared to other games like this we have had or seen. There is really no extra room for it. It reaches to all the spots but our other boards have more give and leeway.

A wonderful, sturdy, motor/intelligence skill building toy for preschool/toddlers. It is in the realm of Maria Montessori. Easy to use. Show them how it works and they will be interested and happy. Don't give cell phones or iPads to children until they reach high school. Give them toys like this. The key is to foster and maintain their natural curiosity. I raised three children mostly as a single parent and they all made it to graduate school.

Cute, colorful and fun little magnetic busy board. I took off one star because my very smart 2 year old grandson has trouble figuring out how to move the beads into the different "parking places". I think maybe 3-5 would be a better age range for it. He does enjoy playing with it and can move the beads around. Just not coordinated yet to know how to move all the parts around. Good quality. Could maybe use a little more length on the string.

Bought this for my 3 year old for Christmas. He loves it, and it works great. It's also well loved by our 2 and 5 year olds as well. It looks super cute and it gives them a fun, screen free activity. Not necessarily as engaging as some other activities for the younger kids, but it gets passed around a lot and gets a decent amount of use between the 3 of them. Even with 3 very rambunctious and destructive boys it is holding up great.

Sturdy, quality materials, perfect size and weight for my toddler. Great colors and the magnets are strong so play is easy. Highly recommend

Pros: -Super cute graphics. Bright and cheerful. -Very strong magnets. They balls are actually plastic on the outside, which sounds bad except we've used some mazes in the past where all of the paint was flecking off and the whole board was full of loose chips. So that won't be happening to this one, and they are still very magnetic even with the plastic shell. Cons: -A whole lot smaller than it looks online. I didn't think to look at the dimensions because the picture shows a toddler playing with it, and it takes up their whole lap. In truth it is about size of my kindle. -The pieces of maze inside that you are meant to manipulate are kind of hard to move. It's a shame because the whole puzzle is sturdy and well constructed, I'm not sure why they would have made the small, movable pieces inside so shoddy. -The string that the magnet wand is on is *exactly* long enough. There's zero slack whatsoever. It makes it slightly awkward to use. -The objection isn't clear. At first I thought you were meant to just move the balls around the board aimlessly. After a couple uses though, I noticed tiny recess's in some of the house that coordinated with some colors of the balls. Not all the balls fit in though, and not all the colors are included. It's just kind of odd. All said and done it isn't horrible, but I definitely wouldn't recommend, or purchase another of this brand. Especially for the price. It's too bad because with a few small tweeks it could have been really great. It seems like the designers were more focused on aesthetics than function.

Great for travel

Gutes Spiel für Kinder. Auch als Erwachsener macht es Spaß, das sagt schon alles :)

Super tablette pour la voiture c'est parfait, le stylo aimant se range sur le côté. Le circuit est bien, un peu complexe mais idéal pour la logique.

All good except one ball is not reacting to magnet pen.

Excellent magnetic labyrinth! I read here also not very positive reviews, but nothing wrong is with this toy. Rope is in normal length and also pen doesn't leave scratch marks. I ordered this labyrinth as a gift for my son's friend and gave my son to play (test) with that. I observed that everything is fine even after 5 day playing since we received that. Thus I don't know how your kids are playing then, that from the first time labyrinth is in so bad condition. ;))

perfect
