Need help finding "wire toys"

[smallestangel]

I can't seem to find what I'm looking for. I googled "wire toys" but didn't find what I'm thinking of. You know the toys they always seem to have at doctor's offices and other waiting rooms? The beads on wire tracks? I know they have a type of these at Maukilo right now but they're not exactly what I have in mind.


Any help?

Thanks in advance!

Are you talking about something like this?

http://www.ikea.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10101&storeId=12&productId=21032&langId=-1&parentCats=10106*13757*13819

I've also seem them at Target in the wooden toys section. (Little Tree brand.)

Their "official" name is a bead maze. :)

I've seen them at Target by the wood toys also, and sometimes I can find them at Marshalls, Ross or TJMax. Our Once Upon a Child also has them.

As somebody said, they're "bead mazes". Ikea has a nice one, and www.kidsurplus.com has quite a few, including some little vehicles I have my eye on...

I got a big one back in November (probably almost 2ft by 2 ft) at TJMaxx. It was the only one they had at my local store and the box was pretty banged up, but it was a steal for $20 I thought. DS enjoyed it right away and he was only 9 months old or so at the time.

Ah! Thank you! Bead maze, it helps to know the right name. :)

I'll be looking in Target, TJ Maxx, etc....I've gotten so into buying online that it no longer occurs to me to look for something IN A STORE,lol. I'm getting in a very bad habit of thinking if I can't find it online, if I can't google it, then it dosen't exist! :)

Jacob's b-day is next month and I want to get him one of these.

Thanks guys.
