Large Tree Colour Maze

Our pick

Large Tree Colour Maze

24,95 EUR

A wooden tree full of coloured beads moved with a magnetic wand. The reds find the reds. The best seller of these seven on our webshop over the last twelve months.

  • Fixed clear cover, so no bead gets lost
  • Moved with a magnetic wand, reds to reds
  • Can be played alone

It does one thing: sort the beads by colour. It does that well, and only that.

The other six

From 14,95 EUR to 29,95 EUR

In the order our webshop sold them over the last twelve months.

Cars Magnetic Game

02

Cars Magnetic Game

19,99 EUR

Seventy-seven magnetic pieces and a tin board that folds shut. Cars, signs and pedestrians, so the kitchen table becomes a town.

Pros, and the catch
  • Seventy-seven pieces: cars, signs and pedestrians
  • Folds shut and travels
  • Magnetic pieces snap into place

Seventy-seven small pieces is a lot to tidy, and a lost sign is a lost sign.

Wooden Abacus

04

Wooden Abacus

29,95 EUR

Ten rows of beads on ten wires, each row a different colour, in a beech wood frame.

Pros, and the catch
  • A steady A-frame that stands on a table
  • Beech wood, sanded smooth
  • No pieces to lose at all

It is the most expensive thing here, and at three it is a sliding toy before it is a counting one.

Forest dominoes

05

Forest dominoes

14,95 EUR

Dominoes with forest animals instead of dots: a fox finds a fox, a hedgehog finds a hedgehog.

Pros, and the catch
  • Pictures instead of dots
  • Sturdy card with rounded corners
  • Under fifteen euro

Like the card game, it needs a second player. It is an afternoon with somebody, not a toy for a quiet half hour.

Squirrel Tree Puzzle (24 pieces)

07

Squirrel Tree Puzzle (24 pieces)

19,95 EUR

A 24-piece puzzle of a tall tree full of squirrels. Once it is done, the round tokens turn it into a seek-and-find.

Pros, and the catch
  • Seek-and-find tokens, so it is played again after it is finished
  • Played alone or with an adult
  • Under twenty euro

Twenty-four pieces is a stretch for some three year olds, so plan to help the first time.

Under 10 EUR

Animal family quartet

03

Animal family quartet

9,95 EUR

A card game of animal families, and a way to get a three year old sitting at a table with an adult.

Pros, and the catch
  • Under ten euro
  • Collect the four cards of one animal family
  • Packs flat for a holiday

It does not work alone. Without somebody to play against it stays in the box.

Magnetic Animal Puzzle

06

Magnetic Animal Puzzle

7,95 EUR

The lowest price here. Magnetic animal pieces on a frame: mix the heads and the tails into animals that do not exist.

Pros, and the catch
  • Under eight euro
  • Flat and magnetic, so nothing scatters
  • Mix heads and tails into new animals

It is one frame of pieces, so it is a quick game rather than a long one.

Questions we get asked

Is age three a safety limit or a suggestion?

It is the age marking on the product, so treat it as a limit and not a guideline.

Which one for a child who plays mostly alone?

The tree maze and the animal puzzle. Both work with nobody else in the room.

Which one sells best?

The tree colour maze, then the cars game. The order on this page is what our webshop sold over the last twelve months.

Is anything here quiet enough for a bedroom?

The tree maze and both puzzles. Nothing on this page makes noise on its own.

How much is delivery?

Free over 49 EUR.

One toy for a three year old: the tree colour maze.
