Magnetic maze Ant Kingdom, learn to count and sort colors

Ant Kingdom is a magnetic maze that helps your child learn to count and sort colors, as well as develop fine motor skills. The maze is made of wood and has a plastic screen mounted on which the child moves the magnetic pen. The maze has many “exits” or end points, which are marked with different colors and number of ants. The game consists of the child moving the required number of balls of a certain color to the end point where they belong. This helps children learn to count and recognize colors. Supplementing the game with a description of what’s happening (e.g. “Now move the green ball”) also develops the child’s language. Another plus of the magnetic maze is that the child learns to hold the pen. It’s the same grip you use when writing or drawing.

Magnetic mazes like this one are very popular in therapeutic circles and special institutions, as they promote children’s development on many fronts: attention, fine motor skills, counting and spoken language, as well as color recognition. Using the pen to move the balls also teaches patience and precision of movement. There are a number of children in the special needs area who benefit from training these skills.

If you have a child with autism or ADHD, you know that they don’t get interested in toys easily. In such cases, it’s smart to try magnetic toys as they fascinate children on a whole new level – introducing them to the magnetic forces that can seem quite mysterious to a small child and making play exciting.

The Ant Kingdom magnetic maze is made of wood with rounded edges and no screws or sharp objects to prevent scratching. The maze is enclosed with a thick plastic screen. The pen that the game is equipped with also has rounded edges and no tip. The size of the maze is approx. 30×30 cm. This is a quality product, suitable for children over the age of three (physically and mentally).
