How to use

Place the bead maze on a stable, flat surface within arm’s reach of the child.

Usage recommendations

Regular short sessions are most effective: 5–15 minutes several times a day to support gradual improvement in fine motor control. Clean the wooden surfaces with a slightly damp cloth and avoid soaking to preserve the finish. Inspect the wires and beads periodically for damage and remove the toy from use if any parts become loose or broken.
