Mega Giveaway Day 20 – Q-BA-Maze
As a parent, I have gone through phases of feeling guilty for lavishing my daughters in gifts during the holidays. We’ve never really gone overboard, but we definitely do feel like reasoning should come into play when shopping. I’ve always gotten around that parental angst by purchasing some gifts that are solely for play in addition to ones that double as play and purpose. Our Day 20 prize, which you can find on our gift guide dedicated to educational gift ideas, is Q-BA-Maze 2.0 from MindWare Toys is a perfect example of the types of gifts that provide some type of lesson.

My favorite thing about building kits is not only are they fun (for children of all ages) they encourage creativity and promote learning….I guess that makes three favorite things tied for first place on my list.
I love that they make learning fun, and that they have everything you need.
Building kits like Q-BA-Maze just let someone sit and concentrate on what is right there.
creativity, because once its done the next one can be even better.
The best part is to see a “light bulb” go off in your head as you become totally enthralled in the project.
These kind of games are what make our future engineers, I think they are great learning items.
Kids can be very creative.
You can make it do things perfectly with your furniture
it promotes creativity!
I love the planing of it all.
I love that they are great for all ages, kids, older, etc.
Kids can use their own imagination to build something their own way. They learn what works and what doesn’t.
I love how these make my nephew and I feel like we are building a Rube Golberg machine
It gives kids opportunity to think and be creative.
Boosting creativity and seeing how things work.
I love to see the excitement of what they have created. Really gets them involved in learning..
Watching my son learn and use spacial reasoning to build fun structures. Just play and bonding time together
Being able to see your kids use their imagination.
I dont know how to explain it, theres something so reminiscent of these marble mazes. I more love playing with these myself and just let the kids drop the marble. Something mesmerizing about it all. Takes me to my childhood.
Huge fan of Marble Mazes. I doubt the kids would get a chance to play with it ahaha.
I like them because they are a toy that doesn’t get boring, every time they are played with it’s different.
Favorite this is that they keep me busy for hours. Lot’s of fun.
I like that a toy like this can be done with my grandchildren together. He loves building things and loves his gramma to do it with him.
The quality time we spend together. No matter how hard, boring, or fun something is to do, I can never get enough of that quality time. Time is something we never have enough of.
We love how quickly time passes when building. My favorite building toys are the ones that are open-ended.
It encourages the child to use his imagination while having fun. My grandson loves to build.
somethin for my child to do
The kids are engaged in something stimulating that’s hands on and not a video game.
This looks like something that my family can do together, even though we are different ages (9-52).
Its good for hand and eye coordination and the imagination !
I like that they are fun, and catch your interest, while also being very good exercise for the mind.
It is a nice combination of creativity and planning
lots of creativity and planning goes into making the maze
My favorite thing about building kits is that there are, literally, thousands of different ways you can assemble the same set. The fun is never ending!
Oh Wow! How cool is this!!! My favorite thing about building games like this is the benefits bthat come with it mentally. I think this would be such a perfect game for my son with Autism to play to really get his mind thinking while also working on his hand/eye coordination!
They allow great creativity, free play, and can often be incorporated with other toys for more fun. There are no rules to play and everyone enjoys them, at least until they get too old.
I love how challenging and fun they are. My grandchildren would have so much fun with this and so would I.
i like the creatively
They remind me of Roller Coasters!!!
I like that there is the option for a child be make up his own course….learn what works and what doesn’t work on their own…..and be proud of their accomplishments.
Putting them together and then having fun.
I like the creative aspect of games and toys that involve building!
I like the variety creative ways to play, it doesn’t have to be just one way, but made many ways for fun.
I think the best thing about building kits is that it gives a child ideas to tap into their very own creativity.
I love that the child has to use their imagination and brain which helps them learn to problem solve. Just a great game for this!!
good for all ages,
Creating things are great and lots of fun
