Review: Great for entertainment & development! - We purchased the Melissa & Doug First Bead Maze for our then 7-month-old who was recovering from major surgery. This toy has been a lifesaver, providing both entertainment and developmental benefits during a challenging time. The Pros: High-Quality Materials: The toy is made from durable, high-quality materials that can withstand rough handling. Excellent Suction: The suction cups are fantastic and stick firmly to the high chair tray and other hard surfaces, ensuring the toy stays in place during playtime. Interactive and Engaging: The colorful beads and various activities keep our infant engaged and entertained. It’s great for developing fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination. Safe for Babies: The toy is safe for our baby to handle, with no small parts that could pose a choking hazard. Cons: None So Far: We haven’t found any downsides yet. It has met all our expectations and more. Our baby couldn’t do tummy time post-surgery, so we needed a toy that could keep them entertained while sitting up supported. This bead maze has been perfect. It’s interactive, colorful, and keeps our little one busy, helping pass the time in a fun and engaging way. The suction quality is particularly impressive, as it ensures the toy stays put on the high chair tray and other hard surfaces. Compared to other toys we’ve tried, the Melissa & Doug First Bead Maze stands out for its combination of quality, suction power, and engagement. It’s a step above similar toys in terms of durability and design. Overall, the Melissa & Doug First Bead Maze is a fantastic toy for infants, especially those recovering from surgery or who need to be kept in a seated position. The suction quality, interactive design, and high-quality materials make it a worthwhile purchase. I highly recommend this toy for any parent looking to keep their baby engaged and entertained.
Review: Charming vintage wooden toy — simple, sturdy, and keeps our baby busy - I really love this wooden toy — it has a very vintage, old-fashioned charm, and I appreciate how simple it is. Our baby has been playing with it for about two months now (he’s 11 months old), and it keeps him nicely occupied, especially during meals when he gets a bit distracted. It’s solid and well made, and the pieces stick together properly, which is exactly what matters for this style of toy. Nothing feels flimsy, and it has handled daily use without any issues. Final verdict: A sweet, sturdy, classic wooden toy that keeps our baby engaged. Very happy with it.

**Q: What is the age range for this toy?**
A: I just gave both great granddaughters, 15 mos. old, and the 2 year old sibling was showing them how to use it! It probably would be best for 21/2 years or younger.

**Q: I notice some reviews about paint chips. has anyone else experienced this?**
A: Yes - I noticed small chips of paint after two days of my daughter playing with it. It’s a bummer because she loves it.

**Q: Is this a good size for a diaper bag, or too big?**
A: I have been able to fit it in my bag (along with diapers, change of clothes, wipes, rags and other toys), and I have even thrown it in my purse before.  It is a nice compact size, and the website lists actual dimensions: 4.2W x 7L x 8.6H inches.  Good to take to out to dinner because it suctions to the table, and it isn't too noisy.
