Build'n'Balance Course
The Build N’ Balance Course is an exciting and adaptable balance system designed to challenge children’s motor skills, coordination, and problem-solving abilities. Featuring a modular design, this set can be configured in countless ways, allowing for custom balance pathways that cater to different skill levels and age groups. The course can be built at varying heights, from 10cm to 24cm, providing progressive challenges as children grow in confidence and ability. The set includes 2 small tops (27cm diameter, 10cm high), 3 large tops (40cm diameter, 24cm high), and 5 durable planks (72cm x 13cm x 3cm), each reinforced with steel bars for added strength. This system encourages active play, spatial awareness, and creativity, making it an invaluable resource for early learning environments.
