{"product_id":"speedy-monkey-ice-cream-magnetic-maze","title":"Speedy Monkey | Ice Cream Magnetic Maze","description":"\u003cp\u003eEverything is sealed under the acrylic. Nothing comes out, nothing gets lost, and nothing ends up in anyone's mouth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThat's the quiet genius of a magnetic maze, and it's why this one works at eighteen months when most counting toys with loose pieces simply don't. The beads live inside, the wand is attached to the board, and the whole thing can be handed over in a car, a waiting room or a café without a single piece disappearing under a seat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe game itself is lovely. Five ice cream cones across the top of the van, numbered one to five, each with its own colour. The beads sit along the bottom, and the job is to drag them up through the maze with the magnetic wand and deliver the right number of scoops to the right cone. Count out three for cone three. Match the greens to the green one. There's no single way to play it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnderneath the ice cream shop there's a lot going on. Steering a bead with a wand takes real control of the wrist and fingers, which is exactly the groundwork for holding a pencil later. Then there's counting, colour matching and the patience to finish what you started. None of it feels like learning because the whole time they think they're running an ice cream van.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt's made from child-safe wood with non-toxic water-based paints and a durable acrylic cover, so it stands up to being carried about, dropped and played with daily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSpeedy Monkey wooden toys have become a real favourite for us in the shop. Beautifully made, genuinely good design, and the sort of thing that gets picked up by everyone who walks past the display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHave a look at all our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.adventureawaits.com.au\/collections\/speedy-monkey-wooden-toys\"\u003eSpeedy Monkey Wooden Toys here...\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e🍦 Why You'll Love It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMagnetic wand attached to the board, so it can't be lost\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll beads sealed under acrylic, nothing comes out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFive numbered cones for counting one to five\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour matching and sorting built in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilds fine motor control and pencil grip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable from 18 months\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompletely silent and screen-free\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlim and light at 318g, ideal for travel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e🎁 Perfect For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eToddlers from 18 months\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCars, planes, cafés and waiting rooms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCaravan trips and holidays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEarly counting and colour recognition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuiet time and rainy afternoons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFirst and second birthdays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrandparents after a toy with no loose pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e📦 What's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x Ice Cream Magnetic Maze with attached magnetic wand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e📋 Product Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Speedy Monkey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wooden Toy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30cm x 17cm x 1.2cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 318g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e Child-safe wood, non-toxic water-based paints, durable acrylic cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumbers:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 to 5 across five ice cream cones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e Recommended for 18 months and up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wipe clean with a damp cloth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e⚠️ Please note:\u003c\/strong\u003e Recommended for 18 months and up.

That's the main reason this suits a younger child and why it's such a good travel toy. Nothing to lose and nothing to swallow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the wand attached?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes, it's on a cord attached to the board, so it stays with the toy rather than vanishing. On a magnetic maze that's the difference between a toy that works and a toy that's useless.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs 18 months too young for counting?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nNot at all, because the counting isn't the point at that age. An 18 month old enjoys dragging the beads and watching them move, and that alone builds real hand control. The numbers and colour matching come into their own somewhere between two and three, so it's a toy they grow into.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does it help with pencil grip?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nSteering a bead through a maze with a wand takes fine control of the fingers and wrist, which is the same control writing needs. It's one of the better bits of pre-writing practice available, and no child has ever noticed they were doing it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it good for the car?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nOne of the best things we stock for it. It's slim, light, completely silent, and nothing can fall out. Hand it over at the start of a long drive and you'll get a decent stretch of quiet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I clean it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA damp cloth over the surface. Don't put it in water or use anything harsh, since that's what damages the paint and the acrylic over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan two children play at once?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThere's one wand, so it's really a one-child toy. If you've got two, a second board is the easier solution than negotiating turns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e🌟 Adventure Awaits Tip\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep this one in the nappy bag or the car rather than the toy box. A silent toy with no loose pieces is worth its weight in a café or a waiting room, and it stays far more interesting if it only appears when you're out.
