I love the fact that these were also glow in the… View Post

Wooden Labyrinth from BRIO Review.

When I was a lot younger I had a wooden labyrinth and loved it so much. I knew the boys would love it especially Little Man who is now 7.

It is really easy to move with the little knobs on each side and 2 silver balls which are included. I think the game is fantastic for concentration because this game is not easy and requires… View Post
