Tactile Matching Maze

Introduce interactive sensory learning to your classroom with the Guidecraft Tactile Matching Maze - a beautifully crafted, chunky maze puzzle designed to engage small hands and growing minds. This durable wooden board features five smooth-sanded circular pieces that slide along an inset track, inviting children aged 3 years and up to guide each one to its matching textured square.

As children explore the tactile patterns, they engage in sensory play while building essential fine motor and matching skills. The square puzzle blocks with textured centres can be rearranged to create new pattern combinations, making each play session a fresh experience. With its sturdy design and thoughtful layout, this tactile maze is ideal for both individual and small group learning.

Perfect for developing hand-eye coordination, visual-tactile recognition and logical reasoning, the Tactile Matching Maze adds depth to any early years learning environment through playful, hands-on engagement.
