Balance Game - Hang & Extend, Junior
What makes this product special
Toys for learning through play
Play is essential for children’s learning, well-being, and development. Through play, children learn about themselves and the world around them.
Play helps children:
• stay curious
• focus and become absorbed in what they're doing
• take on age-appropriate challenges
• build confidence
We believe children learn best by doing things for themselves:
• by making mistakes
• by getting messy
• by falling down and getting back up again
Resilience, confidence, and courage grow through experience, one small step at a time.
That's why we carefully choose toys that encourage independence, imagination, movement, and social skills — offering just the right balance of support, freedom, and opportunities to grow.
Carefully selected toys
We carefully handpick every toy from the vast world of toys available today. The only toys that make it into our range are ones we'd be happy to give our own children.
Every toy at ToyAcademy should:
• support learning through play
• be made from durable, high-quality materials
• be safe and enjoyable for children to play with

What makes this product special
Suitable for ages 4 yrs. to 7 yrs.
Many children love games with clear and defined rules. And such games can be a nice contrast to wild, free play with friends at school or kindergarten - games have rules, and for many children that can be a relief.
Moreover, playing games gives your child an opportunity to learn to cope with the feeling of losing a game. We suggest that you don't always let your child win when you play a game. Learning how to handle disappointment in safe surroundings with you makes your child resilient. After all, you will not be there to shield your child from defeat and disappointment later in life when they are on their own.
The activity is great for your child's well-being and ability to learn:
- Helps your child sharpen their fine motor skills.
- Benefits your child's awareness of shapes/colours.
- Invites your child to use their ability to concentrate.
