This magnetic color and number maze is a wooden puzzle board measuring 11.81 by 8.78 inches, designed for toddlers aged 3 to 5 years. It features a magnetic pen and 10 distinct color beads that kids can sort and match to numbered dinosaurs, helping develop counting, color recognition, and fine motor skills.
