Review on 🧩 MindWare Warm Colors 42016W Q Ba Maze by Tony Korek

Last year I gave my niece and nephew two sets for Christmas. They were both six years old. Age wise this would probably be the best gift for a seven or eight year old as they need help building large mazes. To be honest, they probably didn't really understand how to build a path out of blocks for the first two or three days. But they still liked this gift very much. At first the twins just told us what they wanted to build and my husband and I built it for them and then they played with this maze for an hour or more. After watching the build for some time, the kids got involved in the creative process. You had trouble connecting some of the blocks together, but that makes it a good hand-eye coordination trainer. Sets: one for each pair of twins and one set for adults. The twins then built their own little mini mazes and then my husband and I used the remaining blocks to figure out how to connect their mini mazes together to create a giant maze. The kids loved it. By building and designing multiple paths in the maze, kids can predict which balls will land first or which direction they will go. You can create mazes with more entrances and exits and then ask the kids to predict which exit each marble will take. later you can ask them to explain why they think the ball went there. I warn you that this toy is very loud! Your kids will throw multiple balls at once (and over and over again) and the little metal balls will click and rattle as they fall through the plastic, making an incredible rumble. But it's a lot of fun. I really like this toy and personally I could play with it for hours; Luckily, it also kept the kids' attention for a long time, so I could spend time with them and enjoy the game. I think my high school students will love it, I just wish it was a little quieter so I can put it on my desk for science.
