Build 'N' Balance - Advanced Set

This isn't just an educational challenge - it's also lots of fun, because balance training is the perfect chance to play. Maybe the floor is lava and you have to be careful not to fall? As your little one grows bigger and braver, you can increase the difficulty of the balance course. The flexible elements can be combined in countless ways at heights adjustable from 10 cm up to 24 cm.

Give your child a balance challenge and adjust the activity based on their age and abilities. The Build 'N' Balance Advanced Set includes a total of 23 pieces:
6 x Top10
2 x Top24
3 x Planks
3 x Log Planks
2 x Bridge Piers
1 Slack Line
1 Rocking Plank
1 Tilting Disc
3 Sticks
1 Pair of Joints

Here, important skills are engaged, which are wonderful for your child's well-being and ability to learn new things:

• Motivates your child to concentrate.
• Benefits your child's vestibular sense, which improves learning ability, balance, and concentration.
• This is a way for your child to improve their proprioception, which strengthens your child's concentration skills and builds up their confidence to use their body in other types of physical play.

Suitable for children aged 2 yrs. to Seniors

This is a toy your child can just play with without first having to figure out how it works. There is no wrong or right way to play, and there are no rules your child needs to follow. The goal is simply playing and being in the present moment. We call this type of play intuitive play. It's also referred to as "open ended play". Let your child play by following their intuition and seize the chance to watch how it unfolds.

Unlike types of play which are aimed at achieving a particular result, intuitive play will often give you an interesting look into your child’s own thought process, imagination, and problem-solving skills.

Motor skills furniture is almost the exact opposite of sitting still and staying calm. In fact, being able to rock and roll (furniture wise) can help children with motor restlessness calm down. When your child's proprioception and vestibular sense get more of the stimuli they require to work well, your child has an easier time staying calm. This means that, when your child's need for sensory input is met, their body can relax and function better.

Motor skills furniture bought at Toy Academy is extra durable and will withstand years of fun, active play.
