Fish Maze
Meet the Fish Maze: a two-sided balance game in a friendly fish shape that turns a few quiet minutes into real, focused play. Your child holds the board in both hands and gently tilts and rocks it to guide a ball where it needs to go. Each side offers its own challenge.
On one side, a small ball travels through a winding maze. It takes patience, careful eyes and steady hands to bring it home. Turn the fish over and there’s a shallow open track for the larger bouncy ball. Here the goal is to keep it rolling along the path without letting it drop off the edge. Because the two sides ask different things of your child, the game stays interesting as their control and confidence grow.
The Fish Maze is lightweight and easy to grab for a calm-down moment at home, a waiting room, or a car trip (as a passenger). It’s a simple, screen-free game that asks for nothing but attention and a little perseverance. Please supervise play with younger siblings nearby, as the balls are small.

What the OT Says
As an occupational therapist, I love toys that make children work with both hands together without it ever feeling like work. The Fish Maze can only be played with two hands on the board. That makes it a natural way to support bilateral coordination, the ability of both sides of the body to work together. Tilting the board well needs the hands to move together in one moment and against each other in the next. That’s the same kind of teamwork children later need for cutting with scissors, holding a page while writing, or opening a lunchbox.
The fun of this game comes from small, controlled movements. To keep the ball moving slowly instead of rushing it into a wall, a child needs steady shoulders and forearms and finely adjusted wrist movements. This is graded motor control: learning to use just enough movement, not too much. At the same time, their eyes are tracking a moving target and their hands are responding to what they see. This can support visual tracking, hand-eye coordination and visual-motor integration, which underpin skills like copying from a board, ball games and handwriting.
I also value how much the two sides let me adjust the challenge. The enclosed maze rewards planning: looking ahead, choosing a route and correcting course when the ball goes the wrong way. That gently exercises working memory, motor planning and other early executive function skills. The open track is less forgiving, because the ball can roll right off. That gives instant, honest feedback and a good chance to practise frustration tolerance and having another go. Many children also find the slow, rhythmic tilting and the feel of the ball shifting weight calming and organising, which can help with sustained attention.
Depending on how it’s used, the Fish Maze can support bilateral coordination, hand-eye coordination, visual tracking, graded motor control, motor planning and focus, all within a game children genuinely want to finish. I’d happily recommend it for ho
Let customers speak for us
My son absolutely loves these balls to use on his playdough (he's 3). The fact that they stick together but you can also pull them apart is what really gets his attention.
Brilliant experience, fantastic price and by far my child's most favourite toy!
Thank you!
Thank you for all the free recourses. 💚
I bought this for my son as a level up from stacking cups. The cars add a fun element and I love that he can play with them on the train track too!
My 20 month old loves this shape sorter! It’s stimulating and looks great on his toy shelf.
I bought this ice cream counter for my granddaughter's 2nd birthday. She and her 5 year old sister absolutely LOVE playing with this. Their mother's reaction was 'WHAT a hit!' The younger one loves to stack and place, the colourful and sturdy pieces, in out of the slots of the counter and this will develop into proper pretend play as she gets older. I can see both girls playing with their ice cream counter for years to come as it will have a long shelf life due to both the quality of the parts and the play interest for a broad age group of children.
Innovative and a GREAT idea to level up the bath toy game!
I bought this outdoor easel for my son, and it has been an amazing addition to our garden playtime. The quality is excellent, and it's sturdy enough to withstand active play outdoors. My son loves spending hours drawing, painting, and using his imagination.
The easel was easy to assemble and has plenty of space for creative activities. It's also easy to clean, which is a huge bonus for messy art projects! I love that it encourages creativity, keeps him entertained, and gives him a fun way to enjoy the outdoors.
I highly recommend this outdoor easel to any parent looking for a durable, fun, and educational gift for their child.
I love using this in speech therapy as an incentive. The children find it very exciting to lift the discs off the table with the wand. Strong magnet.
I will order from Tiny tree toys again, their service was very professional and friendly.
A really lovely cuddly bedtime cloth - my grandson loves it :-) Good tactile features included that engage baby's senses and provide comfort.
All three of my girls are loving this simple addition to the outside play area. Seems quite strong as I absolutely launch them. Love the fact that the height is adjustable. Great product - Happy.
We absolutely loved the gorgeous gift that we received of the cutest black & white flower bouquet with Afr & Eng gift tags for Mother's Day of 2026!
It was simply lovely and só spot on!
Thank you Tiny Tree Toys! ⚘️
I absolutely love this puzzle, and have purched multiple ones as gifts. It is well crafted, and the wood is neatly rounded off. I'll be honest I've never played the game guidlines included, and rather use it as a catalyst in my creative processes. I love the fact that there are no rules to this, and the opportunity to use it as an expressive tool. My tiny human loves it too, and can play endlessly with captivated imagination.
Absolutely love the wooden stacking toys, I am trying to move away from plastic and purchase better quality educational toys for my baby and this is the perfect shop for that!
