Picnic Crumb Challenge Magnetic Maze Game | Preschool Cooperative Play Toy
Bring interactive problem-solving and fine motor development to your classroom with the Picnic Crumb Challenge Magnetic Maze Game—a vibrant and engaging activity board designed especially for preschoolers. This 11.5-inch square magnetic maze features a fun picnic-themed backdrop where children guide colorful “crumbs” across a checkered blanket, helping busy ants reach their destination. Along the way, young learners must manipulate sliding barriers to open new paths through the maze, building essential cognitive and motor skills as they play.
Ideal for ages 3 and up, this game supports both independent exploration and collaborative learning. The board includes two permanently attached magnetic wands, allowing children to play side by side—either cooperatively or in friendly competition. As they work together or take turns, they practice communication, patience, and early social-emotional skills.
Constructed from durable materials, the Picnic Crumb Challenge is built to withstand frequent use in early learning environments like centers, small groups, or quiet time activities. It also offers a screen-free, tactile alternative for developing hand-eye coordination, problem-solving, and critical thinking.
Whether you're building a STEM corner, stocking your fine motor shelf, or adding variety to your learning stations, this magnetic maze is a fun, educational tool that invites imaginative play and purposeful learning.
