Little ones use a magnetic wand to guide colorful balls to their matching animals and numbers on the game board — five white balls become eggs in a chicken’s nest, and so on across the board. It’s a simple, satisfying activity that makes counting and color-matching feel like pure play.

Materials: Lime plywood, plastic, metal. Ages 2 and up.

Why Toddlers Love It

The magnetic wand mechanic gives little hands a satisfying, focused task — guiding each ball through the maze and into its matching spot delivers a genuine sense of accomplishment with every round. The animal-themed number associations (like chicken eggs in a nest) make abstract number concepts concrete and memorable for the youngest learners.

STEM Learning Through Play

One activity, four developmental skills: fine motor dexterity, visual-spatial reasoning, counting, and color recognition. The magnetic wand requires steady hand control that builds coordination naturally, while matching balls to animals and numbers introduces early math concepts in a hands-on, engaging way.

Thoughtful Design

The magnetic wand is tethered to the game board by a string so it’s never lost, and a built-in storage slot on the side of the board keeps everything contained between play sessions.
