I recently wrote a blog post about child-friendly toys for on the go and in the car. But my creative mind keeps generating new ideas! That’s why I’m happy to share an additional blog post with even more inspiring suggestions. This time, we’ll focus on toys that stimulate fine motor skills and don’t contain loose parts. Let’s take a look at some interesting and challenging games together. 
Colorful Marbles: Master the Skill Games Tricky Fingers and Easy Tip!
Tricky Fingers and Easy Tip: Challenging Skill Games for on the Go!
Tricky Fingers and Easy Tip are different versions of the same game. Tricky Fingers has a square shape, while Easy Tip is round and made of durable material. As far as the rules of the game are concerned, they are identical: a game of skill.
The game consists of a closed box with holes and marbles in it. The box must be held in such a way that the holes are at the bottom and the marbles lie in the holes. Now the marbles can be moved one by one with the help of the fingers from hole to hole until the desired pattern is created.
These games are also ideal for travelling, in the car or on the plane, because the marbles cannot fall out of the cabinet.
Creative Crafting Fun: The Handy Wooden Craft Flower for Beautiful Cords
This handy little toy is perfect to take with you anywhere. Once the threads are attached, it immediately forms a whole that can be easily carried around, without any loose parts. Whether you want to make a new row and then put it away again, or just continue until the bracelet is long enough, it can all be done effortlessly. With this beautiful wooden craft flower, children can create beautiful cords in a simple and clear way. The possibilities are endless when you experiment with different types of wool and colours. It may seem complicated, but making this bracelet is actually very simple. In addition, a short and clear manual is included. The flower is delivered ready to use, so the first cord is set up in no time! This is not only good for concentration, but also for perseverance.
MagPad: Discover the Magic of Creative Play and Fine Motor Skills!
Develop your fine motor skills with the MagPad: a magical game for kids! Using the magnetic pen, they can bring steel balls to the surface of the board to create shapes, patterns and lines. The MagPad is perfect for creative experiments such as counting and constructing. And if you make a mistake, no problem! You can turn off the magnetism with the flat side of the pen, causing the balls to fall back down and the game to start again. The best part? The balls cannot fall out, so the game always remains complete. The MagPad is ideal for on the go, in the car or when travelling, and offers both great variety for creative outbursts and a handy portable format.

Soft Travel Adventure: The Marble Maze for On the Road!
Ideal for in the car, on the road and when travelling, because it is small, soft and without loose parts. Because the marbles are sewn into the labyrinth, they never get lost. Teach your hands and fingers to work together as you slowly move the marble through the labyrinth. Try it by looking first; you can see the movement of the marble, and then challenge yourself by trying it with your eyes closed. The fabric feels wonderfully soft.
Handy Stopwatch: Easy to Use, Fast and Clear
This easy to use stopwatch puts you in control. With a clear and easy to read display, you can effortlessly read the minutes, seconds and hundredths of a second. The buttons are simple: green for start, red for stop and yellow for reset (clear).
This stopwatch is ideal for measuring how long it takes you to complete various activities. Whether it’s the time it takes you to go to the pool, read the menu, change for the pool (for yourself and your entire family), or even estimate the time it takes you to solve a puzzle during a car ride. It helps you develop a sense of time and practice important skills while having fun.
With this handy stopwatch, measuring time becomes a piece of cake. Let the stopwatch help you become more efficient and gain more insight into how you spend your time.
