Balance Game - Suspend Junior
How many wire pieces can you balance?
A fun and entertaining family game that puts your steady hands (and nerves of steel) to the test.
The goal is to balance as many wire rods as possible on the tabletop stand. Sounds easy? It’s not!
Each metal rod has small bends along the length, so it can be hooked onto the stand or other rods. The tips are coated in colourful rubber, so you can keep track of your own pieces and avoid any sharp edges.
Step 1: Set up the stand. Step 2: Let the fun begin! Share the rods evenly between players and start hanging them onto the stand. The first to hang all their rods wins!
Game rules
- Use one hand only when placing your rods. If you use two hands or accidentally touch other rods on the stand, you lose your turn and have to wait until the next round.
- As soon as you let go of your rod, it’s the next player’s turn.
- You may hang your rods anywhere, as long as the spot isn’t already taken.
- If you cause other rods to fall, they go into your pile and you’ll have to hang them up again.
A fun way to practise patience and a calm, steady hand.Â

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
