Super glue the pen!
Nice toy. It's great in the van on trips. We also have the smaller train. Our boys were 2 and 4 when they got them. They really don't play with them other than while driving, but that is probably just their personalities. If they aren't "strapped down", they don't usually play with ANY toy while sitting down LOL!
One bit of warning on this toy - BOTH pens are now lost, because as a "safety feature" (I was told by the company), the pen pops out VERY easily from the little holder on the string. Not sure how a pen with a magnet that "could" possibly be swallowed (easily fits inside a toilet paper tube)is safer unattached. Anyway, obviously if you lose the pen, this amazingly sturdy, well-made toy becomes virtually useless unless your child likes to just roll the balls around inside the maze (mine do NOT).
However, there is a bright spot. The company has offered to send us two new pens...which we will promptly be super gluing to their holders! LOL:o)

FUN!
This is a hit at my house. The kids love it and is very durable! Its used everyday and is tossed around alot, but I'm betting it will last a LONG time!

Love this. Great for travel and potty training.
This is the toy she grabs when sitting on the potty. It's perfect. - self-contained and easily tossed to the side. We purchased it for a road trip and it was entertaining for her. I think she's used it more in our home than in the car. Nice quality and interesting. I actually find that I grab it to move the marbles around. The magnetic is properly sealed in the tip of the attached wand.
