History īead mazes were introduced to the North American market in 1982 by Anatex Enterprises and in 1983 by Educo International, whose original designs featured five wires.Įduco discovered and licensed the invention from Australian educator George Valentine, a school principal who originally developed the toy for special needs children. They are a common fixture in waiting rooms of doctors' offices to keep children entertained while waiting to be seen. ĭesigned for children aged 18 months to 5 years, bead mazes are purported to encourage eye-hand coordination, spatial memory, and color and shape recognition through manipulation of the beads in three-dimensional space. Large wooden beads, often themselves brightly colored and sometimes having differing shapes, are strung along these wires, allowing the child to move the beads along the tracks from one side to the other. It generally features a wooden base with brightly colored rigid wires strung from one side of the base to the other, often in intricate tracks that loop and intertwine with one another. A bead maze or bead roller coaster is a traditional children's toy.
